DOJ Ends Private Prisons But Not For Kids

This is wonderful.  Private prisons are to be phased out.


Now, what about juvenile residential institutions, juvenile delinquency facilities, ACF homes, foster care homes....?

What about the Religious Freedom Restoration Actors engaging in revenue maximization schemes in the "best interests of the child". who also happen to be tax exempt corporations which are layered with double iron protection from external audit, FOIA, or your basic criminal state investigation?

Privatization of mass, targeted populations to be placed in the "most-restrictive" environments began with child welfare because the chattel industry has never forgotten the child.

Selling chattel is the oldest form of survival.

It is such a shame that we may ultimately transpose this stinky, old blanket to cover our elected officials.

Justice Department says it will end use of private prisons

The Justice Department plans to end its use of private prisons after officials concluded the facilities are both less safe and less effective at providing correctional services than those run by the government.

Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates announced the decision on Thursday in a memo that instructs officials to either decline to renew the contracts for private prison operators when they expire or “substantially reduce” the contracts’ scope. The goal, Yates wrote, is “reducing — and ultimately ending — our use of privately operated prisons.”

“They simply do not provide the same level of correctional services, programs, and resources; they do not save substantially on costs; and as noted in a recent report by the Department’s Office of Inspector General, they do not maintain the same level of safety and security,” Yates wrote.
