The Big Business of Incarceration & Its Relation to DHS & ICE

Come hear local expert Kyle Ellison speak on the Big Business of Incarceration. There are a large number of mega-detention camps being proposed to be built for ICE detainees. Some of them will house up to 10,000 people and each detainee has an amount that will be paid for their ongoing detention. As Rachel Maddow from MSNBC recently pointed out, if they build them "they will fill them.” In fact, acting ICE director says "we must become more efficient, like Amazon Prime, only with humans."
These are human beings being considered as budget line items and profits. Join us as Kyle Ellison looks at the challenges and heartbreaks of our local prison system, drawing on 16 years experience as a parole office and prison staff trainer, on top of his years of research and passion for making evidence-based change.
This is a free event.
