California bans private prisons – including Ice detention centers

The private prison industry is set to be upended after California lawmakers passed a bill on Wednesday banning the facilities from operating in the state. The move will probably also close down four large immigration detention facilities that can hold up to 4,500 people at a time.

Awesome

Lead the way California!!

Nice work, there is a reason u have 25% of the worlds prisoners (mostly black and Hispanic) and only 5% of the worlds population $$$$

California is a mess

Wait, they had private prisons ?

I think California forgets it’s part of the United States of America sometimes. Maybe they need reminding. POTUS CAgovernor

Good. It's about time.

My state isn't perfect by any means but it often does make me proud. This is a big win for justice.
