but the only thing I can remember is the amount was awfully high for the treatment they are getting...or, any treatment. These camps can't be much different than private prisons. Outrageous amounts of money being spent and questionable quality of life provided.

Early on, I saw young boys with sandwiches of shaved ham which appeared to have at least 1" of meat in each. I wondered how long that would continue or if it was staged for the cameras. Now, we are hearing of uncooked frozen meals and rotten food being served. We don't even feed our pets that way.


Perhaps the funding they are already getting should be investigated as to what these children are getting before more money is allocated. It sounds as though the contractors may be directing the funds to their own coffers rather than to food, supplies and medical care for the children.
