we are the #1 in immigrant for profit and private prisions and def not highest population. how can’t u see the truth of how our country is using the system as a weapon and make their enemies into savages and not worthy humans. There’s a reason why bush’s and many after 90’s they soo many more prisions when crime has not went up. Lets us make out citizens prisoners s for profit and the billionaires not pay for anything. Yeah so logical plus we really made the gangs flourish cause of prisions, without the obvious corruption and allowance these gangs would of never thrived, it really did make the rest of world on how to make a better gang, remeber ms 13 wasn’t from Mexico it’s good ol USA made and so are the guns . If anything these agenda promotes people in gangs,drugs cause they even dismantle mental health care and addiction and their so- is to throw em in a profit camp.
Gop def did this and without democrats it would of became worse, since democrats ceased private prisions being built as much as it was good ol trump just made our immigration as profit , yes that helps America right?
Average Cost of Private Prisons in the U.S.
Private prisons in the U.S. are typically contracted by federal or state governments to hold inmates or immigration detainees. The costs vary by contract, state, and facility type (criminal incarceration vs. immigration detention), but here’s a solid breakdown:
1. Average Cost Per Inmate (Private Prisons)
Type | Avg. Daily Cost per Inmate | Annualized Cost |
Criminal Incarceration (e.g., GEO, CoreCivic) | $60 – $150 | ~$22,000 – $55,000 |
ICE Immigration Detention | $140 – $300 | ~$50,000 – $110,000 |
Note: Federal and ICE contracts often pay more due to security, transportation, and medical requirements.
2. Total Cost of Private Prisons (Nationwide Estimatee
The total cost varies by year, but here are recent ballpark estimates:
Private Criminal Prisons (Federal + State)
Estimated $3 – $5 billion/year
- Private Immigration Detention (ICE contracts)
Estimated $2 – $3 billion/year
TOTAL: ~$5 – $8 billion per year spent on private incarceration in the U.S.
Major Private Prison Companies
- CoreCivic (formerly Corrections Corporation of America)
- GEO Group
- Management & Training Corporation (MTC)
They operate dozens of facilities nationwide under contracts with:
- Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP)
- U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
- State Departments of Correction
Notes:
- Private prisons often cut costs by lowering staffing, food, or healthcare budgets, which has drawn criticism from human rights groups.
- Biden signed an executive order in 2021 to phase out federal contracts with private prisons (not immigration or state contracts).
- As of 2010-2025 many ICE detention centers are still privately run.

Open borders for the last four years may have something to do with the current situation and millions of people caught up in this mess, maybe . Homeland security literally went from sitting on their hands to having to DO the job.
