Show Notes
Ohio prisons are profiting significantly from ICE detainees, with six facilities earning over a million dollars each in 2021. These facilities, including Butler County, Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio, Geauga, Mahoning, Northeast Ohio Correctional, and Seneca County, receive daily rates per detainee, ranging from $68 to $125, plus transport fees. Critics argue that many detainees are not criminals but are held for civil reasons, while supporters claim it keeps streets safer. Records show inconsistent details, and some facilities may profit after covering basic expenses. These agreements extend until 2026, with Butler County recently increasing its rate to $105 per detainee.
