The cruelty is the point, and what appears from the outside as disorganization is a feature, not a bug.
For-profit prisons profit from our fascist immigration policies, and they profit more when they hold people for longer.

1. Screenshot text: The reality became clear: Ice detention isn’t just a bureaucratic nightmare. 1t’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. I am writing in the hope that someone out there - someone with the power to change any of this - can help do something.
