In January, President Joe Biden signed a number of executive orders to address injustice. One of them ends reliance on private prisons. Today, there are nearly 152,000 Americans incarcerated federally, with 14,000 at privately-managed prisons. According to the order, the Department of Justice will not renew any federal contracts with private prison operators. “This is the first step to stop corporations from profiting off incarceration that is less humane and less safe,” Biden said at the White House on January 22nd. It’s the beginning of his overall plan to address systemic problems in the criminal justice system.
