We need a federal law banning private prisons. Profit in prisons promotes corruption by creating a perverse incentive to keep prisons filled, which in turn incentivizes more arrests and longer sentences. This is cruel and unusual, in violation of the 8th amendment.
We cannot have a "justice system" as long as profit is one of its motivations. Proud to work with leaders like @RepRaulGrijalva on this and agree with @SenWarren it has to be one of our next criminal justice reform steps.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/03/us/mississippi-private-prison-abuse.html …
