American concentration camps, or detention centers, are contracted to the Government and owned by profitable corporations which pay a share of the cash to President Trump’s administration. This system replicates the Putin model of letting contracts to Oligarchs in return for a share of the proceeds.
ICE and other agencies have been
assigned the job of keeping those camps full and profitable. Inmates in the
camps represent cash income to the company; thus, the companies have incentives
to keep expenses for things like food, sanitation and medical care as low as
possible. Although the owners are required by law to allow inspection at any
time by Congress, the system incentivizes avoidance of the laws.
This entire system is morally
reprehensible, un-American and personally disgusting.
From GHATGPT: ‘Here’s an overview of
major corporations that contract with government agencies to run prisons and
detention facilities (including immigration detention), their top
officers, and examples of specific facilities they operate. Most of
the available information focuses on the United States private prison industry
— especially firms contracting with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) — but there are similar corporate actors internationally.

Notes
on Facility Types & Contracting
- Government agencies (ICE, U.S. Marshals Service, state
Departments of Corrections) often contract facility operators —
with some facilities dedicated solely to immigration detention and others
holding multiple populations.
- Many facilities are listed on company sites or
government directories; comprehensive facility lists are typically
compiled by watchdog organizations tracking ICE detention stats.
Summary
Private prison and detention
operation in the U.S. is dominated by a few key corporate contractors:
- GEO Group, Inc.
— major ICE and corrections facility operator (hundreds of facilities
globally, dozens in the U.S.)
- CoreCivic, Inc.
— major U.S. prison and detention operator with extensive ICE contracts
- Management & Training Corporation (MTC) — mid-sized operator with immigration and other
facility contracts
- LaSalle Corrections
— smaller private corrections contractor active in ICE detention
Plus specialized service
contractors in healthcare or support services.
If you want, I can compile a state-by-state
table showing which contractor operates each ICE or privately contracted
detention facility in the U.S. (and indicate the agency that holds the
contract).
