"No More Detention!: The Intersection

of Immigration and Incarceration"

What: Jesse Hoyt from the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights will
discuss the exploitative processes and undemocratic consequences of for-profit detention
centers that target undocumented Americans.  This talk is in context of a recent
 proposal to open a for-profit immigrant detention center in Joliet, Illinois, and
the work done to shut down the proposal.

He will expound upon the context of private prison operators who set out to profit
from the deepening immigration crisis in the United States. Companies like Corrections
Corps of America (CCA) have seen steady growth due to the countryʼs policy
of locking up immigrants in privately-managed detention facilities. Companies like
CCA have spent millions to shape this policy, win contracts, and ensure that the
 rules are fixed in their favor - all at the expense of some of the countryʼs
most vulnerable people.
When: September 20th at noon
Where: Latzer Hall, University YMCA 1001 South Wright Street, Champaign
