First Step Act Has Sinister Implications for the Poor and Marginalized
(President Trump, the Fraternal Order of the Police, and for-profit prison corporations GEO Group and CoreCivic all support the legislation.)
Well I guess that answers the question that came to mind as I read this.
(The sentencing reform legislation, shaped in large part by Jared Kushner and Koch Industries attorney Mark Holden, expands job training and other rehabilitation-oriented programming)
You don't think maybe a lower prison population could lead our government towards using private prisons, closing down more federal prisons, do you? Also install these in house programs at tax payer expense to private companies.
(“Whatever the federal system does, there are many states [that] are likely to follow suit, which means we’re not only talking about the small number of federal prisoners, we’re talking about 2 million people in jails and prisons around the country,&rdquo
Obviously with the private system strongly advocating for this in the article, they must already have their feet in the door.
