Private prisons to hold detainees is a black stain on the US. It is a sign that our country is no longer a democracy and the profiteers are using human beings like objects to get rich. We as taxpayers are transferring the wealth of the people to rich corporations whose job is to jail the innocent who are fleeing persecution, violence and hunger in their home countries just as our grandparents did. Despite the many rules and humiliations at Ellis Island there is no comparison to what is being devised for the people today. This is a planned policy of cruelty, humiliation and incarceration for people who are not criminals. It is outright racism and no different from what fascist policy did to the Jews. It is sickening, illegal and the owners of these centers are the real criminals!!

End incarcerating people of color!
