A new report has revealed that private detention centers are forcing detained migrants into physical labor for less than a dollar-a-day.The detained migrants have not been convicted of any crimes, but are simply awaiting legal hearings on their immigration status.
Private prison and detention center corporations now detain over 70% of America's detained migrant population and generate large profits by providing substandard care and conscripting detainees into forced labor.
People applying for asylum and awaiting hearings on their immigration status should be treated as respected guests in our country, not as potential free-labor for cruel mega-corporations.
We must put an end to private prisons and conscripted labor.
Add your name to ask Congress to forbid conscripting detained migrants into forced labor for criminally low wages.
