Literally every inmate should sue the state and not settle for a class action.

Both Florida and the US government's sovereign immunity clauses are designed specifically to prevent this. The judiciary is heavily shielded, even from intentional misconduct. It's why you almost never hear about successful lawsuits against penitentiaries.

Sad part is that only hurts the people. Gov. High heels and Pres. Kid fucker are free and protected.
Kinda hard if they get deported
What a waste of resources.
Somebody made bank because of this bullshit.
Grifters gonna grift. The whole admin is a conglomerate of grifters.
Using hate to make bank, the American way.
GEO Group - George Zoley and his son Chris
Every f***ing American should know their names and they don’t and they get to live in comfort because of it.
Company that invests in private prisons. Both times trump was elected, their stock doubled within the following weeks/months. Jesus that's fucked

Ya, including some Canadians for feck's sake.
Search for... Canadian Company Staffing Alligator Alcatraz... You'll find Gardaworld
I don't know what the average detainment period has been but they somehow managed to deport immigrants to El Salvador in a few days, but no doubt they've been holding others for weeks without a hearing or any kind of scheduled date for deportation.
Gitmo, Rwanda, Uganda, Somalia, we don't really know where else.
Gardaworld shareholders who no doubt made a contribution to Trump
The administration's claims that it's 250-450 million USD fronted by Florida, and then backfilled by FEMA Shelter and Services Program funds.
It would be interesting to see how many thousands they paid per night to imprison each person here.
One of the other versions of this same thing, I think the one in Texas, they are paying $300k per tent in building the facility. This entire thing reeks of manufacturing an opportunity to hand inflated government contracts to selected individuals

Republican opportunism is thrifty. I'll give them that.
modern humans in a nutshell
Well that was a huge waste of tax dollars
And human dignity
And human suffering
And....
Not a waste, there's tax dollars were funnelled to a local millionaire or billionaire through a "legitimate" purchase of goods and services. You don't really think it would be that expensive to put up marquees in a swamp?
Well given how many castles sunk into swamps? I'm gonna presume swamps are a bitch to work with in general, but this is also a Trump project meaning 2 bucks worth of chainlink was marked up 500 percent.
Not just any local millionaire or billionaire! Ron DeSantis's friends and donors. Yayyy
They plan to extraordinarily rendition them.
You are missing the point, and cruelty is the point. The cons got to hurt people AND own the libz!
There was nothing at all wasted as far as they are concerned. I'm sure if you asked some of them, they'd say it was worth every single penny and they'd gladly do it all again. Even if they have to skip a few meals, don't have health care, or a job, etc...
the facility dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz”
I'm not familiar...do they mean Alligator Auschwitz?
The Everglades Concentration Camp. None of this branding
Where are they sending the detainees?
Out back.
:(
This is why I am not exactly thrilled about this.
Probably fucking Uganda
Probably fed them to the alligators if I had to guess.
I'm glad it's being shut down, especially since my first thought was that they were requesting chaplain services because they were going to kill all the prisoners.
I wouldn't get your hopes up. They're likely still going to be killed. It will just be somewhere else.
Lol so now it's alligator Alcatraz because it's shut down, like Alcatraz, and surrounded by gators.
All that trash that was made and sold should be treated the same way that Nazi stuff is treated in Germany.
Shut it down!!!
Hell yeah. This is correct.
Keep it preserved. You'll need a place where you can store the Trumpists when this is over.
how we treat the worst among us is how we judge a society. tear it the fuck down and build a humane prison.
Reconstruction and Nuremberg were objective failures to place accountability that I would rather not repeat.
That's the thinking that allowed the fascists to survive long enough to take over.
Huh, I wonder what a good number of those people will dedicate the rest of their waking lives to...
i can breathe a little easier after reading this
Might want to check for mass graves first.
