We do not want to but realize that Prisons and that whole system by and large has been Privatized and is in fact a business, a very BIG business. Each prisoner may yield 10’s of thousands of dollars to the company running them and so keeping them is the key to making it profitable. This is another reason why the abolishment of the Death Penalty and actual execution has disappeared by and large, keeping them is better for business.
Follow the money
Also if something should “happen” then you have a whole bunch of malcontents and enemy fighters in the country, just like the Dems and Obozo planned
“... that whole system by and large has been Privatized and is in fact a business...”
State side it might be. But another thought are the CIA “black sites” located in different parts of the world used for holding and interrogation. This subject has not been in the news since the Bush administration when the water boarding thing came up concerning Khalid Sheikh Mohammed at the Poland site. Another name attached to it was Hassan Ghul, born Mustafa Hajji Muhammad Khan, who created the trail to find Bin Laden when he was kept at another site and questioned. Most of the sites were closed. Trump is exhibiting an appearance to reopening some of them. Most of them are downrange so the prisoners will not be kept in the US.
