somewhere I read about the amount the Feds were paying the Private For Profit Prisons daily, per prisoner, and the actual cost they were spending on each prisoner..........The difference in the amount, PER DAY, was substantial.........Profitable to the Extreme.

Obviously, Trump and the FOR PROFIT prisons don't want any cameras showing the reality of what they are doing. Any more than they did during Trump's first occupation of the White House, when they were putting all the immigrant CHILDREN in fenced up areas with a space blanket and forced to sleep on the concrete floors..............The guards refused admittance to even members of congress who tried to be admitted.......

Then worst of all, there was no accounting, no paperwork of what happened to the hundreds and hundreds of children......
Then they were all just "disappeared" along with all their parents.........

Trump and his CABAL were just practicing at that time, now they are in a full ROLL OUT of their program...........
