More criminal aliens to be housed in contractor-owned prisons

In order to accommodate the swelling number of criminal aliens expected to be incarcerated in the U.S., the Federal Bureau of Prisons intends to award a contract to the Corrections Corporation of America, of Nashville, TN, to house approximately 1,750 non-U.S. citizen inmates at the low-security McRea Correctional Center in McRea, GA.

The move to rely more and more on contractor-owned facilities comes at a time when the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) expects the federal inmate population to rise during the five-year period of FY2010 through FY2015 from 210,227 to 239,344 inmates. That projected increase of more than 29,000 inmates represents a rise of nearly 14 percent in the federal prisoner population during that five-year period. Of those 29,000 additional inmates, approximately 8,000 are projected to be low-security individuals.

“The projected number of sentenced criminal aliens and continued limitations on capacity with the BOP’s low-security [federal correctional institutions] will ensure further reliance upon contractor-owned and operated correctional facilities to house a large portion of this inmate population,â€

This must be another one of those "free" programs, like "free education" only this is "free" housing for people that might not belong here to begin with?

Worse still, is that we are building and providing contracts for more and more capacity, capicity that will allways ask for more and more "free" funds(?) to fill the capacity of said pockets.

Who knows? Perhaps Americans will wake up and demand golf courses at these facilities and fill them with Washington's finest denizens in the future?

this is "free" housing for people that might not belong here to begin with?

That's why they are housed in PRISONS.
