As if these for profit prison schemes are saving taxpayers any money over a person literally offering to buy her own plane ticket to leave our country.

Why would anyone want to come here for any reason?

Or as MAGAts have told me my whole life, why don't you leave?

She met women who had been detained without charges in these for profit prisons for over 10 months. Democrats have allowed the for-profit prison game to bloom under their watch.

funding based on the number of people they detain..."

Well that would explain a lot. The more people they detain and the longer they detain them, the more money they make, whether the people are guilty of anything or not.
