Privatized detention and incarceration centers are hell on earth--and they are big business for private companies. Ending private detention is a way to start ending detention - period.

Between 2014 and 2018, the Office of Refugee Resettlement paid private companies $3.4 billion to house migrant children. Further, 44 percent of those companies face serious, well documented reports and allegations of child maltreatment.

In these centers children suffer from:

• Forced administration of psychotropic drugs
• Jail-like conditions with armed officers
• Physical abuse, sexual abuse and even death

Sign this petition to demand Congress end privatizing detention and incarceration now!

Another $2 billion is spent on adults facilities--more of which are being built to support Trump’s white nationalist immigration policy. These privatized detention centers are big money makers for the industry and are rife with physical, psychological, and sexual abuses, that include forced labor, inadequate medical care, and failure to respond to abuses suffered by detainees such as rape.

Trump has benefited from these industries, receiving monetary donations from industry CEOs. This is sickening and must end now.  

Sign this petition to demand that Congress stop privatizing detention and incarceration centers that abuse thousands of immigrant children and families!
