Daily Beast today, made a investigation throwing light on the terrible prison of the Empire, is thriving around the ICE. Journalists claim that «ICE has established a system of commercial use of migration policies trump«. Private prisons, the partners ICE, make arrests and hold prisoners in their slave labor, and supports trump’s election to prisoners.

As the ICE, as of October 20, in prison for her cases was 44 631 migrant. The following year, ICE made applications for 52 000 places. Since immigration violations are not criminal, prisoners of the ICE the majority are in private prisons. For the «bench» for migrants in the United States pay commercial prisons 100-120 dollars a day for «bed» — nearly $1 billion in 2018.
Monitoring of conditions of detention bypasses these prisons. In fact, their only checks the ICE itself. Several lawyers who spoke to the Daily Beast, visited these prisons and say obturation conditions, crowded rooms, lack of walks and proper medical care, inadequate food, etc. lawyers say violation of their legal rights: the administration of prisons makes it difficult to access to the objects, prevents the meeting of prisoners — waiting visits can last for half an hour. Thus, to find out, where $ 100 a day per inmate, it is difficult, but they somehow spent.
We did a lot this year, but one of the most important things we did was sue the private prison company CoreCivic, Inc. for forcing immigrants to maintain the detention center where they’re being held. #SPLCWinterReadingList. pic.twitter.com/6DBYKdjnID

But the earnings of the prison is not only limited to placement of migrant workers — this is not a hotel. In prisons, waiting for the «voluntary work» is paid in an amount not less than $1 a day. Themselves prisoners who spoke with the Daily Beast, I comment on their work in the prison in different ways. Some said that the torture and humiliation forced to work — especially women in service the kitchen and used as cleaners. Others say that in prison, completely missing the sports and leisure, it is psychologically unbearable and makes the work, not to die of boredom. In other cases, the administration of prisons do not provide prisoners with basic necessities and hygiene products, and sell: to buy, to work.
You can always argue about the quality and performance of forced labour, but if you take into account the price of such labor… salary of a migrant in jail determined in the amount of not less than $1 a day. With tens of thousands of employees with a salary, the contents of which are thus paid by the state, it is possible to build a profitable business.

The main condition for the success of this business is the constant tightening of immigration policy. Not surprisingly, private prisons are active sponsors of the last election of the company of Donald trump.
«The increase in the number of immigrant prisoners in the prison — it’s not just politics, it’s big business. The employer and jailer, the private prison giant GEO Group expects its profit this year will rise to $2.3 billion and other private prison companies, she made large donations to the campaign of the President of trump and his inauguration», — summed up the journalists of the Daily Beast. And this is only one of the 19 companies who make immigration policy of the current administration.
«The industry is engaged in the expansion of the system that these companies could make more money by holding a larger number of immigrants and doing everything possible to take advantage of that thanks to the labour processes as the involvement of detainees to work and pay them $1 a day. You will find very little difference between slave labor and what they do,» said Emily Ryo, assistant Professor of the law faculty of the University of California at Gould.
The authors of the investigation and the participating attorneys are horrified that people are fleeing from dictatorial or criminal regimes, in fact, enslaved to a system, which tramples human dignity and faith.
