"CoreCivic, Inc. is an American private prison operator and one of the largest for-profit prison, jail and detention contractors in the United States. It has been the target of divestment campaigns, FBI investigations and lawsuits alleging civil rights violations and forced labor at some of its owned or operated 70 state and federal correctional and detention facilities in the U.S."

Private prisons make money on head count. Even a sick two-year-old earns profits for them. Integrity and humane treatment of people are not profitable.
