Source: CNN
(CNN)The Obama administration planned to reduce the number of non-US offenders housed in federal private prisons.

The potential increases are laid out by the US Bureau of Prisons in a notice for beds in Criminal Alien Requirement (CAR) facilities, privately-managed prisons primarily for non-US citizens convicted of low-level drug and immigration offenses.

3. Lock us up.
I really have to wonder what kind of person decides to open a private prison business. What is the business model? It just seems out of the realm of humanity to do this for sheer profit.

5. The Republican party is no longer universally in favor of mass incarceration.
Even the Koch brothers are in favor of criminal justice reform.
