End federal use of private prisons and detention facilities

Elizabeth Warren proposes ending federal contracts with private detention providers used by the Bureau of Prisons, ICE, and the U.S. Marshals Service. She would also seek to extend the ban to state and local facilities by making their receipt of federal public-safety funding conditional on using public facilities. The plan aims to end profit-making from incarceration and detention.

Context: The state and local extension would operate through conditions on federal public-safety funding.

In their own words

I will shut down the use of federal private detention facilities by ending all contracts that the Bureau of Prisons, ICE, and the U.S. Marshals Service have with private detention providers.
