6/12 The conflict is structural: operators earn public money from incarceration, and some contracts make reduced capacity costly to governments. Companies don’t decide who is arrested or sentenced, but they have a financial stake in a system that keeps beds in use.

3/12 The state spending graphic shows corrections budgets, not cost per prisoner. States spent an estimated $74.8B in FY2023, including prisons, related programs and capital. These broad state totals overlap some private contracts; the $5.5B also includes federal ICE contracts.

Americans pay billions to for-profit prison companies to incarcerate people. Their financial incentives reward keeping beds filled; some contracts pay even when beds are empty. Profits go to company owners and investors, not the public that funds them. That’s a profound conflict of interest.

Police identified the motorcyclist accused of attacking Tenaya Stanford, but his name still has NOT been released. Stanford says he followed her for miles while her 1-year-old was in the car, smashed her window, grabbed her by the hair, dragged her into the street and beat her with a steering lock.
