The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) of Arizona is a non-profit social change organization. Our office works primarily on matters of criminal justice, prisons, and alternatives to mass incarceration. For more information please visit www.afsc.org/tucson.
This recent article provides excellent background on the topic - unfortunately it requires making some minimal effort to read: ”Over the past four years roughly a million immigrants have been incarcerated in dangerous detention facilities in our taxpayer-financed private prison system. A growing number of news reports and investigations confirm that for many of the people funneled into this system, it is a living nightmare.”
