America's largest state prison system is moving to quit the practice of far...
Defending their business model, the companies say they provided a vital service when detentions in California’s prisons more than doubled the system’s capacity, sparking lawsuits that led to court-ordered cuts to inmate populations.
“I cannot think of any prison that does not provide those services,” said Kara Gotsch, director of strategic initiatives for the Sentencing Project, a criminal justice reform group. Perhaps more significantly, the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency stands to lose four privately-run detention facilities in California next year that hold roughly 4,000 people, unless the ban is challenged in court.
The average daily population at issue in those facilities accounts for less than a tenth of the 52,000 ICE holds nationwide, it said.The bill, which secured its final passage by the state legislature last month, bans any new or renewed California contracts with private, for-profit prisons, starting in January.
