Immigrants For Sale (2015)
The detention of migrants has become a multi-billion
dollar industry in which immigrants are sold to the highest bidder and
traded like mere products. The Corrections Corporation of America, The
Geo Group, and the Management and Training Corporation run over 200
facilities all over the nation. These facilities offer over 150,000 bed
spaces and rake in a total profit of close to five billion dollars per
year. The fact that these detention centers get paid for the number of
people that are in the center per night offers, therefore, no incentive
to speed up the legal processes and let the detainees leave the
facility.
