Nonya "Lethal Precision" Bidniss :CIAverified: 🇺🇸She wraps it up with something I know many of us have been going on about for years, but I don't think most Americans have more than a vague awareness of, if at all. And I want to know which of our politicians have stock in these companies. This whole scheme should be against the law. It's a profit machine and grinds up humans in its gears, and the grinding is the point. And if you're an American taxpayer, your politicians have forced this moral injury onto your shoulders. They decided you're paying for this evil. "The reality became clear: Ice detention isn’t just a bureaucratic nightmare. It’s a business. These facilities are privately owned and run for profit.Companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group receive government funding based on the number of people they detain, which is why they lobby for stricter immigration policies. It’s a lucrative business: CoreCivic made over $560m from Ice contracts in a single year. In 2024, GEO Group made more than $763m from Ice contracts.The more detainees, the more money they make. It stands to reason that these companies have no incentive to release people quickly. What I had experienced was finally starting to make sense.This is not just my story. It is the story of thousands and thousands of people still trapped in a system that profits from their suffering." <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ForProfitPrisons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ForProfitPrisons</a>

(AP) — A storm was looming when the inmate serving 20 years for armed robbery was assigned to transport fellow prisoners to their jobs at private manufacturers supplying goods to companies like Home Depot and Wayfair. It didn’t matter that Jake Jones once had escaped or that he had failed two drug and alcohol tests while in lockup — he was unsupervised and technically in charge.By the time Jones was driving back to the work release center with six other incarcerated workers, it was pelting rain. Jones had a reputation for driving fast and some of his passengers said he was racing along the country road, jamming to music in his earbuds. Suddenly, the transport van hit a dip and swerved on the wet pavement, slamming into a tree."Read more: <a href="https://apnews.com/article/prison-to-plate-inmate-labor-investigation-alabama-3b2c7e414c681ba545dc1d0ad30bfaf5" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://apnews.com/article/prison-to-plate-inmate-labor-investigation-alabama-3b2c7e414c681ba545dc1d0ad30bfaf5</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HumanRights</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Prisoners" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Prisoners</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ForProfitPrisons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ForProfitPrisons</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPenalSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USPenalSystem</a>
