What's also amazing is that this single 2,400 bed facility has grossed $100MM in the first 6 months of 2015. Assuming they're full all the time, that's an annual rate of $83,000 per inmate. And people think it's expensive to NOT deport them. They could put all their kids in school, get ER visits once per month, and never pay a dime of taxes and they wouldn't cost the economy that kind of money (while actually being able to contribute to it by working). Unreal.
