The New Jersey private detention facility Delaney Hall is run by for-profit company GEO Group. GEO relies on the public's tax dollars going to fill their cells, then keeps the profits they make for themselves. GEO Group made $254 million in profits last year, a 700% increase from the year before. Delaney Hall alone is expected to generate $60 million in revenue each year. Now, massive protests are taking place outside Delaney amid an ongoing labor and hunger strike by detainees to protest inhumane living conditions and demand their release.

Making profit off of torture, they all need to be in prison
Th3 concept of a "for profit" prison is ridiculous
Legalized slavery
No more for-profit prisons. They are sick.
This what the corporations want for all of us.
Thanks for covering this so important we all keep our eyes on this.
The love of money is the root of all evil.
Let's start taking it back! Start the revolution! Death to companies
Slavery still lives in this country and will continue to so long as it’s tolerated by the masses. Step up or get stepped on people.
America is a free speech zone. All of it.
The lit-up backlit windows with the menacing figures posturing in them is so "Metropolis" If only this was just a movie. They are torturing and killing people. Shut it down. Shut down Private Prisons. Shut Down ICE.
Claim exempt on your taxes folks. They can’t get us all. F ‘em. It’s come to this.
Horrific. I have no words. These are human beings being kept prisoners.
GEO Group needs to be charged with Human Rights Violations and Crimes against humanity the way they treat inmates.
Congress members should join them
The policemen do not have a soul? They do not have families? Why on earth do they agree to obey???
Those window silhouettes look scary af😢
christ. the WRONG people are locked up, and even then they'd get better conditions than these people
And me who thought that the KZ-Camp was outlawed after WW2.
You can't make illegal detained people work. What kind of madness is going on
