Rachael Maddox's segment tonight on the surprise visits the House reps made to detention centers [View all]
Was sickening. Newly elected Adelina Grijalva from Arizona visited an unannounced site and was horrified and reported to Rachael what she discovered. Rachael was visibly moved as was I and just plain pissed. Rep Grijalva speaks Spanish so she was able to converse with some women held in detention. The point she left us with was follow the money as these prisons are privately owned and the occupancy numbers are relative to the profits being made for a few owners that own more than one hellhole. 🤬
