        The detention center, which can hold up to 1,575 detainees, houses people who are in custody while the federal government seeks to deport them or reviews their immigration status.http://apne.ws/23wHyIv

        These type of centers For Profit should not even exist to begin with. Note that some people has been there since 2005. They are not convinced criminals.

        For profit prisons have recreated slavery in modern times. They need purged during an overhaul of our total justice system. Nonviolent offenders are being incarcerated for egregious periods of time in the pursuit of wealth. The US needs to do better.

        No the writers of the Constitution left a loophole to keep some slavery legal. It's called the 13th Amendment. Capitalism took advantage of it.
