A lot of the comments seem to miss the point of what these cops are likely doing

It’s a prison for 600 people.

By losing 215 people since 2016, they have essentially been jettisoning (either intentionally or by “gang violence”) 5% of the prison each year.

They get FIVE percent more $, but to do so, requires that they kill 5% of the prison (not to mention recruiting the remainder for a total of “105%” revenue). By not reporting it for months, they kept getting federal payments each/every month for food/water/etc.

While I have you, can I posture another question?

I will preface it with this: I want all of you beautiful ppl to move here and join the (very often dumb as fuck) melting pot. But you need to know that I think you are the target of facilities such as these.

When do the feds step in for the southern states’ refusal to handle/(process?) migrants across the border?

Because the way I see it…

The easiest way to flood these prisons w/ that special >105% who won’t/can’t be asked about (if they’re still alive) would be to flood migrants in the south with the illusion of a booming job market and a welcoming population (and then use them as pawns and bus them all around the country to cause conflicts)
