Jeff Winder writes:

Private immigrant detention facilities have been disastrous across the country; abuses, neglect and death are commonplace. ICA claims they will do better while charging half the going rate.

No emergency exists. The immigrant detention unit at Piedmont Regional Jail in Farmville is currently far under capacity.
