The Trump administration’s warehouse buying spree is drawing interest from one of the largest private prison contractors, although a top executive acknowledged Thursday that retrofitting the facilities to detain immigrants will be a challenge.
Geo Group is “cautiously participating” in the procurement process for running the warehouses and evaluating select sites, the company’s executive chair, George Zoley, told investors during an earnings call. The Department of Homeland Security wants to hold as many as 8,500 people in some of the several warehouses it has purchased in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Texas.
“Warehouses” is such a dehumanizing term for de facto prisons [EDIT: Concentration Camps… I have no problem using the correct terminology for what this is]… I’m so angry. We all know where this leads. We have to stop them.
They are a network of indefinite detention centers for people that haven’t committed crimes, and are systematically blocked from their lawyers.
We don’t need gas chambers to call them concentration camps.
‘Concentration camp’ was introduced as term similar to ‘reeducation camp’ to ‘reintegrate’ ‘rotten elements’ into society. The Nazis even made propaganda films about ‘how nice and practical’ these camps were to society and inhabitants… of course without showing the torture and killing part.
So in other words gas chambers were never a requirement for the term and you’re free to call this unconstitutional abnormality however you like.
You know what else is “concerning”? The fact that “private prison groups” are allowed to exist in the first place.
retrofitting the facilities to detain immigrants will be a challenge… George Zoley, told investors during an earnings call.
Yes…, to detain “immigrants.” Of course.
