The Migrant Detention Business is More Profitable Than You Think

The Takeaway

Up first, we take a look at the money behind private corrections and detention operators via a comprehensive report from the Corrections Accountability Project. Then, we talk to a self-described lifelong Republican Reverend about how he got interested in immigration, and why faith leaders chose to speak out now; we have a conversation about the farm bill with a Latino farmer who owns a small organic farm in CA; plus, a look at a documentary following the first eight months of a refugee family resettlement.
