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? :oops:

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(?) :oops: 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?
