US Justice Department Ends Use of Private Prisons
Today, the United States Department of Justice announced it would stop using privately operated prisons for federal prisoners. The department’s Office of the Inspector General had recently concluded that private facilities are less safe and effective than those run by the Bureau of Prisons. While this decision could improve rights protections for countless people now and in the future, it still leaves many in federal custody at added risk of mistreatment.
