Nothing in the Constitution restricts a person who is a convicted felon from voting. It is nothing more than another mode of voter suppression imposed by the states.
We ought to require prisoners to vote in every election!
Our corrections system is a disgrace.

Monsters, all. If the US gov cared about catching actual criminals, they would SHOW THEIR FUCKING BADGE. ICE is all about suppressing the population with fear. Without a trustworthy protocol, how is ICE protecting us from impersonators. & that’s just the tip of the iceberg. #ForProfitPrisons #Death

Who is profiting from all the concentration camps popping up all over. I wish the media would shine a light on that. #iceout #forprofitprisons #concentrationcamps
Because it’s not about getting criminals. It’s about incarcerating number to get a payout from the federal government. #forprofitprisons
News of Trump building a vast network of concentration camps should be a call to action, a National Emergency. References text by Thom Hartman.
Everything Trump's Administration does is
immoral,
illegal,
& self-serving.
Trump's AG and DAG
Blatantly #Lie
But Trump & Stephen Miller's obsession with creating
prison camps, #ConcentrationCamps
Is a bridge too far.

I might be the first Member of Congress to enter alongside a staff member who took detailed notes to tour the ICE California City Detention Center. This is the largest detention facility in the state of California. I left with a profound sense of urgency, concern, and moral responsibility. What we witnessed cannot be ignored, excused, or normalized. I want to recognize my staff, Yvonne Inciarte and @SamElghanayan, for coordinating this visit at the onset of 2026 to shine a necessary light on conditions that demand immediate oversight. This visit was inspired by a constituent from Sunnyvale who was beaten, unlawfully detained, and held at this very facility before being deported. As Yvonne and I arrived, we saw families pulling into the parking lot, preparing to visit loved ones. When we spoke with them, they described inadequate food, visible mold, and water that tastes like metal. They shared these details cautiously, often stopping themselves mid sentence because detainees have no privacy when using phones on visits and families live in constant fear of retaliation for speaking out. Fear, not transparency, defines this environment. The facility is operated by CoreCivic, whose staff of six, including the warden, escorted us through a stark, cold detention center located in the California desert near Nevada.
On the day of our visit, temperatures were in the 40s on a sunny clear day. When we asked when laundry is performed, we received no defined schedule, leaving it unclear how many times individuals receive clean clothing. Furthermore, there was no policy for providing jackets in freezing temperatures, only a statement that detainees are given blankets. We were told the facility currently holds 1,428 detainees, including 215 women. This center’s contract began in September 2025, yet the Office of Detention Oversight has not conducted a single inspection. No Performance-Based National Detention Standards (PBNDS) audit has occurred, and compliance with PREA and ADA requirements remains entirely unverified. Oversight is not merely delayed; it is functionally absent. Visitation remains strictly non-contact, forcing families to speak through glass. When asked why, the warden cited "introduction of contraband," yet when we asked how many detainees were held for crimes committed versus civil immigration matters, the answer was unknown. People are being treated like high-security criminals without explanation or due process. Much of the personnel we encountered had only three to four months of experience, coming from private security backgrounds rather than specialized correctional or humanitarian training. It was explained that "bed space," not necessity or risk, was the primary reason individuals were transferred to this remote location. Medical care was the most alarming failure of our visit. While there are ADA coordinators, they were not on-site during our tour. We observed locked boxes labeled "sick call" and "grievance," but we were not allowed to view whether these requests were ever answered. Staff admitted that a "sick call" request might sit in the box for one to two weeks before a medical response is initiated. Detained individuals told us a different story: when they ask for help, they may wait up to 20 days, often being placed in a room by themselves to sit and w…
For illnesses like the flu, medicine is rarely provided; at best, a ibuprofen is given, but more often detainees are told to buy basic medicine from the commissary at exaggerated, unaffordable prices. With reportedly only one doctor for hundreds of people, the neglect is structural. We spoke to a man urinating blood who has still not received care, and a detainee transferred from Adelanto after having molars removed who was left in agony without any pain medication. The warden enthusiastically described one hour of daily outdoor recreation, gyms, and tablets for attorney calls, yet we walked through empty rooms and saw untouched game consoles. We saw education booths in rows of four, each with a tablet and monitor, but not a single detained individual was using them. We were never shown the law library or computers containing LexisNexis. There is no GED programming, no substance abuse support, and no religious services unless outside volunteers make the trip to the desert. Pro bono attorney lists are taped to the walls, but since only one immigration judge is assigned to the facility, cases face six-month extensions. Some are so desperate they ask to be deported, yet remain detained for months due to court backlogs. We spoke directly with 47 individuals from countries including Afghanistan, Armenia, Bangladesh, Colombia, El Salvador, Honduras, India, Mexico, Nepal, Venezuela, and others. Most said they were never told why they were detained. They described being treated like animals, locked in cells for seven hours a day, and fed undercooked beans that frequently contain rocks. Older detainees are at heightened risk because they are rarely given fresh fruits or vegetables. We met a lawful permanent resident who lived in the U.S. for 45 years, now detained for an issue from nearly three decades ago.
We met Afghan detainees who assisted the U.S. military and now have no country to be deported to, and a student who should be graduating this summer whose future is stalled. We listened to a skilled journeyman that diligently appeared at every required ICE check in who was unexpectedly detained during a check in, was moved to tears as he was taken into custody over being forcibly separated from his infant child with no explanation. We heard from a business owner from Orlando, Florida who worked on U.S. military bases, detained at work despite legal authorization through political asylum. We even found a young man detained alongside his 58-year-old mother; they were separated upon arrival and have been unable to locate one another. Under the "volunteer" jobs, detainees are paid only $1.75 to $2.50 an hour. The outdoor areas bring in mud into walking paths into the detention center. The water was repeatedly described as non-potable and lacking filtration. In the kitchen, staff claimed the food is compliant but could provide no records or logs to prove it. America can enforce its laws without abandoning its humanity. What we saw at the California City Detention Center is systemic neglect. A detention-industrial complex that operates without transparency or accountability does not put American values first; it puts profit first. Human rights violations hidden in remote deserts must never be tolerated. Congress has a duty to act, to investigate, and to reform. The lives and dignity of over a thousand human beings depend on it.

@parkroseperma.bsky.social brilliant video, as usual. Privatized prisons are modern day gulags. I too wonder how those behind this can sleep.

Look no further than the GEO Group if you want to see a timeline of troubling abuses
I'll believe they're changing when I see the reports from their current victims. Does that also mean they're going to release the victims they have in their #ForProfitPrisons?

#ForProfitPrisons don’t make money from #wealthy prisoners. The ultra wealthy are above any country’s laws and are #untouchable.
For-profit Prisons make money with masses of poor people. They get paid per body. The more bodies in prison, the more they get paid. This explains ICE quotas.

Immigration detainees say ICE guard “Lt. Quin” sexually assaulted them, threatened victims, then was promoted to another GEO Group jail. This is a for‑profit system enabling abuse. Lt. Quin must be brought to justice for these crimes. #Immigration #Accountability #ICE #GEOGroup #ForProfitPrisons

This is infuriating! Why are ICE prisoners dying? Why are they detained in #ForProfitPrisons - do GOP sycophants even notice they are killing people, separating families & hurting America on the world stage?
No one is safe here anymore!
