ICE detainees rely on Access Corrections’ systems — which are experiencing outages — to get money for basic necessities while they’re imprisoned

        The “for profit” American prison system! You may remember it by its original name “slavery”!

          only reason we don’t call it that is because we invented a new, worse, more horrifying version of slavery than anyone else had thought of, and now we call only that slavery. if something isn’t identical to chattel slavery we won’t realize it’s slavery

      Had a buddy who went to jail, they get paid 1.50 an hour if I recall correctly. It is quite literally slavery and it’s why for profit prisons are such a big industry in the US.

        I can second this person’s comment, friend of mine spent time in jail and was paid shit for work. Treated themselves to “fancy” food once every 3 months which was really just like doctoring up microwave ramen at home with maybe some shit you find in a dumpster. It’s a bullshit for-profit system run by profiteering gluttons. It’s capitalism through and through.

    Sue Access Corrections right out of business.

    If Americans must live in a dystopian world where a financial private middleman company determines whether some people get to eat or not, then that company and its investors should be personally liable when an issue or mistake on their end causes undue harm.
