Obama administration to phase out some private prison use
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Obama administration announced
Thursday it will phase out its use
of some private prisons, affecting
thousands of federal inmates and
immediately sending shares of the
two publicly traded prison operators
plunging.
In a memo to the Bureau of
Prisons, Deputy Attorney General
Sally Yates told it to start reducing
“and ultimately ending” the Justice
Department’s use of private prisons.
The announcement follows a recent
Justice Department audit that found
that the private facilities have more
safety and security problems than
government-run ones.
The Obama administration says
the declining federal prison popula-
tion justiies the decision to eventu-
ally close privately run prisons. The
federal prison population — now at
193,299 — has been dropping due
to changes in federal sentencing
policies over the past three years.
Private prisons hold about 22,100
of these inmates, or 12 percent of
the total population, the Justice
Department said.

In this 2010 photo, the Idaho Correctional Center is shown south
of Boise, Idaho, operated by Corrections Corporation of America.
The policy change does not
cover private prisons used by Immi-
gration and Customs Enforcement,
which hold up to 34,000 immigrants
awaiting deportation.
“Private prisons served an
important role during a dificult
period, but time has shown that they
compare poorly to our own Bureau
facilities,” Yates wrote in a memo
to the acting director of the Federal
Bureau of Prisons. As private
prison contracts come to an end, the
bureau is not to renew the contract
or it should at least “substantially”
reduce its scope, Yates wrote. She
did not specify a timeline for when
all federal inmates would be in
government-owned facilities.
Democratic presidential candi-
date Hillary Clinton says the country
should move away from using
private facilities to house inmates.
The Clinton campaign has said it no
longer accepts contributions from
private prison interests, and if it
receives such a contribution, it will
donate that money to charity. The
private prison industry is a major
contributor to Republican political
campaigns, particularly in recent
years. GOP presidential candidate
Donald Trump has said he supports
the use of private prisons.
The private prisons on the chop-
ping block are operated by three
private companies — Corrections
Corporation of America, GEO
Group Inc., and Management and
Training Corporation. After the
announcement Thursday, Correc-
tions Corp. stock dropped $13.22,
or 48.6 percent, to $14 and Geo
Group tumbled $13.80, or 42.7
percent, to $18.49. Both companies
get about half their revenue from

also said they disagreed with the
conclusions of an inspector gener-

The federal government started
to rely on private prisons in the late
1990s due to overcrowding. Many
of the federal inmates held in private
facilities are foreign nationals who
are being held on immigration

about the conditions in privately-run

Thursday, urged states to follow
suit. Some states, such as Kentucky,

Before Thursday, the Bureau of

the goal of phasing out private

ago, it did not renew a contract for
1,200 beds, Yates said.
