5 States Limit Private Prison Management

What’s happening? Washington State became the 5th state to limit the private prison industry.

Why is this important? The Washington State legislation bans private prisons from operating in the state and looks to shut down an immigration detention facility that is privately run in Tacoma by 2025.

How will this be important? California, Nevada, New York and Illinois in passing legislation to reduce, limit, or ban the operation of private prison companies in the state. Every year more states will begin considering similar legislation.
