Biden Orders Justice Department to Halt Reliance on Private Prison Contracts
On behalf of J. Kippa Law, LLC | February 3, 2021
Biden has ordered for federal private prison contracts to halt, as inmates experience inhumane living conditions and dangerous assault rates. Biden states that the vow to phase out private prison contracts is “the first step to stop corporations from profiting off of incarceration that is less humane and less safe.” He asserted it is an initial step in the process of carrying out his administration’s racial equity plan.
