The concentration camp companies contracts need to be examined

because it is very likely they are paid per prisoner/per day under some kind of rate or formula. The potential for abuse is ghastly. It could explain why prisoners get shuffled from concentration camp to concentration camp. The formula might pay for so and so many days and then the payment decreases so they keep shuffling, with ICE-American Gestapo/CBP/DHS/DOJ approval and assistance, in order to keep the reimbursements high.

This also has the obvious opportunity for kickback schemes. If, for example, the one in charge for a certain area doesn't "get his" then maybe the transfers don't get done and the concentration camp operator doesn't max their money. The same holds true for why medical services are withheld. Most of those services are provided on a budgeted total and so the company providing the services has a huge financial incentive to not provide the services because it eats into their take. This has been a huge scandal and problem in the prison industry in the US for many,many years.

Likewise the scarce food, rotted food, lack of soap etc. problem. Cut costs and keep the balance. Basically they are going to do the bare minimum to sustain life, tragically failing sometimes, and all to max out their money. For people who don't think this happens you really need to open your eyes to the investigations of the prison industrial complex that have been done over the years and the judicial system role in the conveyor belt of humans through a very lucrative system. The corruption of judges and officials is not a rarity. Being punished for it is, sadly, a rarity. Remember the Pennsylvania judge who for decades slammed juvenile offenders into incarceration for the least of offenses because he got money? Think of Tom "Paper Bag" Homan and the still unaccounted for $50,000 and wonder if he would do that what wouldn't he do or hasn't he done.

Does anybody think it is uncommon for people who encounter CBP near the border to be let go minus any cash they have on them or to be taken anyway after being relieved of their cash? That sort of thing happens in jails in the US every day. You had money in your wallet going into custody but all of a sudden there's no money. Raise hell about it and you can stay even longer. Much longer if they wish and you just might "fall" and hurt yourself. Don't think this doesn't go on. There is no shortage of people who can attest to getting rousted, ripped off and screwed by the cops.

We're seeing this abuse of human beings now on a much more massive and visible scale. That's why they refuse to let inspections happen without massive delays. Gives them a chance to "clean up" and to also get rid of the prisoners who could be trouble for them, who are in the worst health or have been abused, by moving them around. Hiding the evidence of what the UN has questioned as "crimes against humanity" by playing "hide and seek" with prisoners. Their lawyers complain of this sort of inability to find/access their clients all the time.

So they'll kill on the high seas without evidence, invade countries with no legal right and kill their civilians, extort countries/businesses/groups/states for their own personal gain, defy court orders, murder protesters in the street and protect the murderers. They'll accept bags of cash on camera, accept jet planes as bribes, set up phony crypto businesses and siphon off oil revenue into a slush fund in foreign banks.

So those are just the things we know about. Imagine the things we don't know that they have done and are doing. Yet some people will think that these same people running scams with their concentration camp schemes is a thing too far to be true. Kickbacks, bribes, extortion, retribution, killing, sexual abuse, physical abuse and theft are part of the brand for these people. It's their every day behavior.

who owns the buildings and the land that is being bought for these kkkoncentration kkkamps? And are the taxpayer funds being used to pay a premium over the actual value of the buildings and the land.

Profiting from them needs to be destroyed.

Honest to God these facilities are not being built just to hold “illegals” … they are so much larger than needed to hold them. As I look at this administration, they are being built to “hold” any of us that dares to go against the regime.
