Hypothetical here.

COVID was an opportunity to expose pay-for-play and insider trading at all levels.

...Could we replace "COVID" with "due to corruption" in this story and others?

For-Profit Private Prison systems ARE institutionally crooked, and are incentivized to maximize their prison populations and sentence lengths.

It could (supreme speculation here) very well be that this is one Private Prison system that was knowingly denying rights to its inmates, or engaging in other off the books criminal behavior or negligence.

Reducing prison populations -- and then keeping them that way -- is not a bad thing.

Article did mention deportation as a viable option. Slimming the Immigration Detention system down would be/was an inevitable consequence of patching the gross leaks allowing Illegal Immigration in the first place.

Slimmer system = faster, more efficient sentencing/prosecution

Maybe this is just the bubble being deflated, and the bottleneck being necked down to more humane, less 'mass incarceration mindset' standards? 🤔

Not immediately alarming to me, unless this is somehow more of the Kamala Harris/ Soros "let's bail out violent criminals as riot pawns & make Gotham" playbook.
