Correction: Immigration Detention, Inc.

Abstract: This article addresses the influence of economic inequality on immigration detention. The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) detains roughly 350,000 migrants each year and maintains more than 30,000 beds each day. This massive detention system raises issues of economic power and powerlessness. This article connects, for the first time, the influence of economic inequality on system-wide immigration detention policy as well as on individual detention decisions. The article begins with a description of the… Show more

“…In another context, when a person is arrested and suspected of being in the United States as an undocumented citizen, he or she is frequently transferred to federal immigration detention centers.

“…Las empresas privadas han encontrado un negocio en el arresto indefinido de migrantes indocumentado/as y aquellos que solicitan asilo. Corrections Corporations of America (CCA) y Geo Group son las empresas más grandes que el Department of Homeland Security (DHS en adelante) y el US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE en adelante) contratan para alojar, detener, vigilar y procesar migrantes para la deportación (Gilman y Romero, 2018;Gómez, Menjívar y Staples, 2017). Estas empresas tienen vínculo directo con el American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), institución conservadora que promueve, por medio de lobby político 4 , la aprobación de leyes antiinmigrante en todo el país (Gómez et al, 2017).…”

Durante los dos primeros años de la SB1070, la competencia de la policía de tránsito y la de los sheriffs, estaba difuminada.…”

“…As with prisons, immigrant detention centers require bond payments for an individual’s release while s/he awaits the appearance of the case before an immigration judge. Through an analysis of bond amounts and detention center capacity, Gilman and Romero (2018: 1) demonstrate that the Department of Homeland Security, “regularly sets bond amounts at levels that are not correlated to flight risk or danger, but rather to the length of time that the individual must be held in detention to keep the available space [of the detention center] full” in order to maximize profit for the privatized detention prison sector. The parallels between prison and detention system privatization extend also to profits accumulated through costly telephone communications and food production and preparation, among other sources of revenue.…”
