The Disgusting American Business Of Incarceration

Those Americans detained by ICE are being housed in private prisons and have already proved to be a half a billion dollar motza for one such corporation running them. America is home of the financialized and privatized everything, where transparency is an outdated concept. No, it is all about profits and returns on investments for companies and their shareholders. The Trump administration is feeding its backers with the promised billions. The disgusting American business of incarceration. ICE is going after mums and school kids too. ICE is not limiting itself to targeting gang members and illegal aliens. No, that is way too restrictive on the numbers to fill these private prisons. US Private Prisons Profiting From ICE Detainments You may have lived quietly in the US for 40 years but that is no reason why ICE wouldn’t grab you and detain you. Masked ICE agents are turning up at work sites and arresting and taking away shit loads of working folk. Communities are being rocked by these divisive tactics, as longtime members are grabbed and taken away to private prisons. These companies running the private prisons get money for every person they hold in their facility. It pays for them to stock up on detainees, no matter the individual situation. No due process means that the sloppy actions of ICE go unchecked for some time. Helter skelter overkill by ICE and Homeland security forces are wrecking the lives of Americans. "The Trump administration is moving quickly to dramatically expand the nation’s capacity for detaining immigrants who do not have legal authorization to be in the United States. The administration has largely turned to the for-profit, private prison industry to reopen or repurpose shuttered and aging facilities — many of which have been previously criticized for poor conditions and inadequate care. In February, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced it will reopen Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey. The detention facility, owned by private prison company GEO Group, has the capacity to hold about 1,000 people. It will become the largest ICE processing and detention center on the East Coast. The 15-year contract is valued at $1 billion.” - (https://stateline.org/2025/04/11/for-profit-immigration-detention-expands-as-trump-accelerates-his-deportation-plans/) America Was Built On Immigration The United States of America was built on immigration. It is a piss poor retrospective agenda to now go around and arrest folk who have been living and working in the US for years and years. Donald Trump and his extremist regime are wrecking the US and for what? It is hard to see any advantages to what they are currently doing. Destroying the lives of tens of thousands of Americans for no reason but culture wars. The disgusting American business of incarceration. “I thought that the timing of the movie release of The Penguin Lessons was apt considering the Trump regime in the United States is grabbing folk off the street there, right now. ICE agents wearing masks are snatching academics and students to detain them for dissent. Their dissent being expressing contrary views about the war in Gaza, where the Israeli forces have killed some 50, 000 Palestinians. The Trump regime has made it effectively illegal to hold any views on this matter which go against their foreign policies. The US has become a fascist police state, where the rule of law has been coerced by Presidential executive orders and not Congress. This is, of course, illegal and the courts are disputing and pausing the Trump actions, which seek to deport all those they deem as unwanted in America. Some of these detained people have green cards or are citizens of the US.” - (https://wordsforweb.com.au/the-penguin-lessons/) Robert Sudha Hamilton is the author of The Stoic Golfer and America Matters: Pre-apocalyptic Posts & Essays in the Shadow of Trump. ©WordsForWeb Read the full article

This is an article I wrote about Wilkinson County Correctional Facility (WCCF), where I serve as chaplain. It focuses on a new fitness program at the facility, which is called, “Witness the Fitness Walking Club.” The article is published in the January/February 2021 issue of Corrections Today magazine, the professional membership publication of the American Correctional Association (See www.aca.org).

New Lamp Post/River City Collaboration to Rehabilitate Hamilton County Jail

In 2016, the Hamilton County Commission voted to approve an additional $460,000 in consulting fees to David Eichenthal’s PFM Consulting Group to tell the County the same thing consecutive Hamilton County juries have recommended: close the County Jail on Walnut Street. Part of Mayor Coppinger’s plan to  sell the rights to incarcerate Black and low-income communities to CoreCivic (formerly Corrections Corporations of America) completely privatize all of the county’s jails, the pending closure of the jail has provided on opportunity for developers. The venture capitalist Lamp Post Group and the River City Gentrification Development Company have announced plans to capitalize on the existing layout of the county jail with a new condo development, Pen Tower at Walnut. The project will be marketed to tech entrepreneurs who are even more noble in their willingness to sacrifice space for convenience than those praised for renting micro-living spaces in the new Tomorrow Building at Georgia Avenue and Patten Parkway.

Those who appreciate sharing common space should find the condo development particularly appealing as residents will share the common areas of the original cafeteria and exercise area. Early architectural drafts call for replacing cell doors with antique walnut doors from various downtown renovations so residents will have privacy and not feel too much like they are in jail, but the condo sizes will remain the original less than 100 sq ft size of the old cells in fitting with the micro-living trend. The razor wire around the exercise area will obviously come down, though former City Councilman Chris Anderson suggested during a Southside Chamber presentation by River City’s Kim White that, if the area remained fenced, it would be a great site for a collective chicken coop, but doubted his Council replacement would reintroduce his urban chicken ordinance. Anderson also noted that the large windowless wall along Cherry Street would make a great mural canvas and perhaps the inmates could be exploited contribute to painting the mural before they are transferred to an enlarged Silverdale Workhouse. MarkMaking has begun the search for an out-of-state, white nationally recognized muralist.

The second floor of the jail which once housed the large, cold, and feces-smeared holding cell will eventually house retail and restaurant space. Lamp Post Group has begun deliberating on which recent start up with a prefix or suffix of CHA or Nooga will be engaged to work on branding the coffee shop and micro-brewery. Some early ideas include the coffee shop being named Graybars (not to be confused with Greyfriars) and the micro-brewery being named The Clink with creative beer names like Penitentiary Porter, Pokey Pilsner, and the Solitary Stout. The top floor will be opened up and renovated as a reservable, private event space called Club Fed.

Former City Councilman Moses Freeman, Jr. applauded the announcement and stated that residents of College Hill Courts should look to the example of the jail breaking it’s cycle of incarceration and violence and be inspired to pull themselves up by their bootstraps to end their generational cycles and mindsets of poverty. Indeed in Kim White’s presentation to City Council, she enthusiastically reported that one of the micro-living condos will be set aside for affordable housing at 120% of the median income of Chattanooga thanks to a generous PILOT agreement in which the city and county will indefinitely waive all future property taxes and provide Silverdale inmates the opportunity to provide free slave labor participate in workforce training in custodial and groundskeeping work.

Plans are already underway for a grand opening and mural dedication ceremony on International Human Rights Day 2019 sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce that will feature Stratton Tingle recording a Live From the (Former) Hamilton County Jail experimental album using a guitar with it’s strings replaced by white dreads.
