Two-year-old Kaleth is being locked away at the Dilley trailer prison. He is getting sicker with each passing day. He will not eat the food CoreCivc serves, which detainees have said sometimes has mold and worms. He now has a fever.

(53,214 posts)I thought we'd made extraordinary progress over recent decades and that perhaps the evil ones had backed down somewhat. Unfortunately, they just unified behind a carnival barker and let their hate flow freely.
Optimistically, I still believe we have evolved, but with some major painful setbacks.

(12,663 posts)This corporation is marking Huge bucks from our tax dollars doing the Nazis' work for them. The filthy-rich hiding behind their corporations torture and abuse innocents while pedo Trump feed them huge amounts of our tax dollars.
These are the founders of this torture system:
Thomas W. Beasley
T. Don Hutto
Robert Crants
Thanks to Raygun, they founded this abusive system to pump our taxes into their pockets. This facade of the corporation has broken laws, been investigated and sued.
If you ever wanted to make money off of the torture of small children, you don't have to sex traffic them. You can just buy stock in the filthy-rich corporate facade called CoreCivic.
This is the end game for capitalism. To take your hard earned money to give it to the filthy-rich through the corporate facade while abusing, employing and oppressing you and your children.
But are any of these filthy-rich stock owners going to be held responsible? No, because they hide behind their corporate entities.

(1,719 posts)"... These are among the exclusive accounts from an Egyptian family imprisoned at the nations only family detention center for more than nine months, believed to be the longest held in that South Texas facility during President Donald Trumps second administration. The declarations, which span 59 pages, include hand-written letters and pictures drawn by the five children. They were first obtained by The Texas Tribune before lawyers submit them to the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary Wednesday.
Taken together, the familys accounts provide what lawyers and child advocates call new and disturbing details into the conditions at the detention center in Dilley, about 70 miles southwest of San Antonio. The family, including the mother Hayam El Gamal and her five children ranging in ages from 5 to 18, detail what they describe as abhorrent medical care, inedible food and a disregard for their religious freedom as Muslims.
The family was detained after the father, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, was charged with attacking mostly Jewish protestors at a Boulder, Colo., event last June, accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at demonstrators supporting Israeli hostages. He allegedly wounded at least 29 people and an 82-year-old woman died from her injuries. The father, who has pleaded innocent, remains in federal custody on more than 100 charges related to the incident.
His wife, who wrote that she met her husband through an arranged marriage, and their children have repeatedly denied knowledge of his attack. They have consistently said that the father was emotionally and physically absent and barely spoke to them. The family has since disavowed the father and is no longer in contact with him, their attorney said. We are six innocent people, including 5-years-old twins, trapped in a nightmare we didnt create, wrote Habiba El Gamal, the 18-year-old daughter..."

(89,999 posts)I figure as long as we can breathe, move, find food, think for ourselves, and talk to each other, the likelihood of our surviving this mess is strong.
They may be able to fuck with some of us. Maybe a lot of us. But they will not and cannot beat all of us.
Thats the one thought that helps me keep going.

(13,474 posts)"CoreCivic, Inc. is an American private prison operator and one of the largest for-profit prison, jail and detention contractors in the United States. It has been the target of divestment campaigns, FBI investigations and lawsuits alleging civil rights violations and forced labor at some of its owned or operated 70 state and federal correctional and detention facilities in the U.S."
Private prisons make money on head count. Even a sick two-year-old earns profits for them. Integrity and humane treatment of people are not profitable.

(4,238 posts)... ICE agents and their superiors are, their malevolence is eclipsed by the soulless corporatists running CoreCivic. I generally abhor capital punishment, but I would make an exception in their case.
The malicious swine on the Dark Side of the Aisle conveniently forget about the maquiladoras in Mexico that work people like rented mules, and pay them next to nothing. And they kick dust all over home plate at the mere mention of Reagan funding and training death squads in Central America, which led to the failed gangster-states that now generate so many of the desperate refugees who risk their lives trying to enter the very country that deliberately caused the problems that spurred their exodus in the first place.
But the M$M now owned by Trump-loyalist billionaires won't allow such stories to be printed or aired.
And people wonder why I won't let a Republican in my house. Have you seen the cost of fumigation following such an infestation?
