Thanks Steve -- another great and important story. Greatly appreciated.

As an aside, the private prison industry is big business in the US -- they get big contracts from the government to build and run prisons, then invest/donate some of it to political campaigns -- and get more contracts. Quite the investment strategy.

And like most for-profits, they maximize revenue and minimize costs. They have a history of inmate abuses, problems, poor food, low wages for employees, and little money for programs to help inmates learn skills.

They are currently housing more and more immigrant detainees and, no surprise, building more and more prisons aka detention facilities. Biden tried to limit them and even closed a few. Trump is all for expansion of course. CoreCivic is one of the biggest corporations, and getting bigger.
