Tell Congress to stop funding private prisons now!

Across the country, immigrants in ICE custody face rampant abuse inside private detention centers run by GEO Group and CoreCivic. People are crammed into overcrowded cells, fed rotten food, denied medical care, and punished with solitary confinement for speaking out.

At CoreCivic’s Trousdale Turner prison in Tennessee, at least five people have died in just two years from mistreatment and neglect. According to Fortune, the company quietly settled lawsuits, admitting no wrongdoing — even as grieving families demanded justice. Meanwhile, GEO Group and CoreCivic continue raking in hundreds of millions in profit, their business model built on suffering.

Our tax dollars fund this cruelty. And in September 2025, Congress will decide whether to keep renewing contracts with GEO and CoreCivic — or finally shift funding to humane, community-based alternatives. Public pressure has forced accountability before. Now it’s up to us to make sure lawmakers feel it again.

Add your name to demand Congress stop funding detention abuse
