Trump Admin To Flood Private Prisons With More Minorities Than Ever - YouTube
Channel: The Young Turks
[0]
AROUND THE END OF PRESIDENT
OBAMA SECOND TERM, HE HAD
[3]
ESSENTIALLY LET THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT KNOW THAT THE
[6]
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD NO
LONGER USE PRIVATE PRISONS.
[10]
HE WANTED TO PHASE OUT PRIVATE
PRISONS ON A FEDERAL LEVEL
[13]
EVEN THOUGH STATES COULD CHOOSE
TO CONTINUE USING THEM AND
[17]
HE PROMISED TO NO LONGER RENEW
ANY CONTRACTS.
[20]
THAT WAS GOOD NEWS BECAUSE
PRIVATE PRISONS HAVE A VERY
[22]
SHOULD HISTORY HERE IN THE
UNITED STATES.
[25]
JEFF SESSIONS JUST RELEASED A
STATEMENT SAYING NO.
[29]
WE LIKE THE PRIVATE PRISONS.
[30]
WE'RE GOING TO USE THEM ON A
FEDERAL LEVEL.
[32]
ATTORNEY GENERAL JEFF SESSOMS
RESCINDED THE PREVIOUS
[34]
DIRECTED TO THE BUREAU OF
PRISONS TO EITHER REDUCE OR
[38]
DECLINE TO RENEW PRIVATE PRISON
CONTRACTS AS THEY CAME DO.
[42]
THE STATEMENT SAID THE
FOLLOWING.
[43]
THAT MEMORANDUM CHANGE THE
LONG-STANDING POLICY AND
[47]
PRACTICE, AND IMPAIRED THE
BUREAU'S ABILITY TO MEET
[49]
THE FUTURE NEEDS OF THE FEDERAL
CORRECTIONAL SYSTEM.
[52]
THEREFORE, I DIRECT THE BUREAU
TO RETURN TO ITS PREVIOUS
[55]
APPROACH.
[56]
THERE ARE TWO ISSUES THERE.
[58]
OF COURSE THERE IS THE ISSUE OF
USING THESE PRISONS THAT
[61]
HAVE HIGH LEVELS OF ABUSE, WASTE
GOVERNMENT MONEY, I WILL GET
[65]
INTO MORE DETAILS ABOUT WHY THEY
ARE PROBLEMATIC, BUT IN THAT
[68]
STATEMENT, HE MADE IT VERY CLEAR
THAT THEY PLAN ON ARRESTING A
[72]
LOT MORE PEOPLE AND IMPRISONING
A LOT MORE PEOPLE AND SO WE
[76]
NEED TO USE THESE PRIVATE
PRISONS IN ORDER TO HOUSE
[78]
ALL OF THESE PRISONERS AND THAT
SHOULD MAKE YOU WORRY A LITTLE.
[82]
THE NEW DIRECTED, WOULD
ESSENTIALLY IMPACT 13
[87]
PRISONS THE HOUSE A LITTLE MORE
THAN 22,000 INMATES.
[91]
IF YOU LOOK AT THE GRAND
SCHEME OF THINGS, IT DOESN'T
[93]
IMPACT A LOT OF PRISONS, BUT IT
WAS AT LEAST A GOOD STEP
[97]
FORWARD UNDER THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION.
[99]
NOW WE HAVE TAKEN A HUGE STEP
BACK.
[101]
I'M GOING TO GET INTO HOW MUCH
THESE PRISONS HAVE DONATED
[103]
TO THE TRUMPET MINISTRATION AND
THE IMPACT THIS IS HAD ON
[106]
THEIR STOCKS BUT WHAT YOU GOT TO
JUMP IN FIRST ARE
[109]
EVEN IF YOU ARE CONSERVATIVE
AND YOU BELIEVE IN THE FREE
[112]
MARKET, BY THE WAY, I THINK WE
ALL BELIEVE IN THE FREE
[115]
MARKET, BUT YOU PRIDE YOURSELF
ON THAT IF YOU ARE
[117]
CONSERVATIVE AND SO WHAT YOU
THINK HAPPENS IF YOU
[120]
INCENTIVIZE SOMETHING IN THE
FREE MARKET?
[123]
YOU WILL GET MORE OF IT.
[125]
IF YOU INCENTIVIZE MAKING A
PROFIT BY IMPRISONING YOUR
[128]
FELLOW AMERICANS, HE WILL GET
MORE OF IT.
[132]
PRIVATE PRISONS, YES, ARE
SOMETIMES USED FOR A
[134]
DOCUMENT IMMIGRANTS HE MIGHT BE
HAPPY ABOUT THAT IF YOU ARE
[137]
A RIGHT-WINGER, I WOULD ARGUE
DEPENDS ON WHO YOU ARE
[141]
IMPRISONING BUT YOU MIGHT EVEN
ARGUE THAT.
[143]
PRIVATE PRISONS ARE ALSO USED TO
IMPRISON AMERICAN CITIZENS.
[149]
NOW THEY HAVE A PROFIT MOTIVE TO
IMPRISON MORE OF YOU, AND
[153]
BY THE WAY, YOU KNOW THAT IN
AMERICA, EVERY COMPANY CAN
[157]
GIVE MONEY TO POLITICIANS.
[158]
THAT USED TO BE CALLED A BRIBE
AND NOW IT'S CALLED THE
[160]
CAMPAIGN DONATION.
[163]
YOU THINK THOSE CORRUPT
POLITICIANS AREN'T GOING TO
[166]
TAKE CAMPAIGN DONATIONS TO
IMPRISON MORE OF YOU?
[169]
AND YOU THINK THEY ARE ONLY
GOING TO STOP AND
[171]
DOCUMENTED PEOPLE, WHICH IS
THAT IS NOT TRUE, PRIVATE
[174]
PRISONS ARE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY
AND UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS
[176]
ARE A SMALL PART OF THEIR
BUSINESS.
[179]
YOU THINK THEY ARE JUST GOING TO
SUFFER MINORITIES?
[181]
OR SOME POINT ARE THEY GOING TO
NEED TO MAKE MORE MONEY?
[183]
IT IS ALREADY IMPACTED
AMERICAN CITIZENS.
[187]
IF YOUR CONCERN IS NOT ABOUT
AMERICANS AND YOU ARE LIKE
[191]
WHO CARES ABOUT THESE
IMMIGRANTS?
[193]
FIRST OF ALL, HOW LAUGHABLE IS
IT TO CALL YOURSELF A
[197]
FISCAL CONSERVATIVE IF YOU ARE
IN FAVOR OF USING TAX PAYER
[200]
MONEY TO DETAINED IMMIGRANTS FOR
YEARS BEFORE YOU DEPORT THEM?
[204]
THINK ABOUT THAT.
[205]
THE ONLY REASON WE DO THAT IS SO
PRIVATE PRISONS CAN MAKE
[208]
MONEY AND AGAIN, IT IS TAXPAYER
MONEY.
[210]
THERE CALLED PRIVATE PRISONS
BECAUSE THEY ARE PUBLICLY
[212]
TRADED THAT YOU CAN BUY STOCK IN
A REPORT OF INVESTORS.
[215]
IT IS RUN LIKE A BUSINESS
LOOKING TO MAKE A PROFIT,
[219]
BUT IT IS MOSTLY FUNDED BY
TAXPAYER MONEY.
[222]
IT IS RIDICULOUS.
[224]
WE KEEP THESE IMMIGRANTS THERE
FOR YEARS AND THAT WE
[226]
DEPORT THEM WASTING TAXPAYER
MONEY LET'S KEEP IT REAL.
[229]
TOP OF THAT, THINK ABOUT THE
TYPES OF POLICIES THAT WE
[232]
CONTINUE PUSHING FOR EVEN THOUGH
THEY MAKE NO SENSE.
[236]
PROHIBITION OF CERTAIN DRUGS,
PROHIBITION OF MARIJUANA
[238]
FOR INSTANCE.
[239]
WHEN WE IMPRISON SOME NEW
PEOPLE FOR TRAFFICKING OR JUST
[242]
HAVING POSSESSION OF MARIJUANA?
[244]
BECAUSE PRIVATE PRISONS MAKE
MONEY OFF OF IT.
[246]
YOU LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF THEM,
THEY STARTED THEM IN THE
[248]
1980S WERE THERE WAS THIS INFLUX
OF
[251]
WAR ON DRUGS.
[252]
YES, AND ALL OF THAT.
[256]
PRIVATE PRISONS REALIZE THIS IS
BIG BUSINESS.
[258]
THESE STATE RUN AND FEDERALLY
RUN PRISONS CAN HOUSE ALL
[262]
THESE INMATES, SO WHEN WE
BUILD OUR BUSINESSES AND GET
[266]
TAXPAYER MONEY TO IMPRISON
MARIJUANA USERS.
[269]
IT IS INSANE.
[270]
AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS A YEAR.
[273]
CAN YOU READ SOME OF THE
CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS?
[276]
IT'S REALLY JUST FOR
CORPORATIONS THAT RUN AND
[279]
OWN THESE PRIVATIZED PRISONS
THAT ARE MAKING BILLIONS OF
[282]
DOLLARS A YEAR.
[283]
IT'S CRAZY.
[284]
THE GEO GROUP AND COURSE
CIVIC DONATED $220,000 TO
[288]
SUPPORT TRUMPS INAUGURAL
FESTIVITIES THAT SEPARATELY
[291]
SEPARATELY CUP, THE GEO GROUP
GAVE $275,000 TO THE PRO- TRUMP
[294]
SUPER PACK REBUILDING AMERICA
NOW
[298]
THAT'S A FUNNY NAME.
[300]
REBUILDING AMERICAN PRISONS
NOW.
[304]
ONE 100,000 DONATION CAME A
DAY AFTER THE JUSTICE
[307]
DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCED IT WOULD NO
LONGER USE THE FACILITIES.
[311]
THINK ABOUT THAT.
[312]
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT SAYS WE ARE
NO LONGER GOING TO USE
[314]
THESE FACILITIES UNDER THE
OBAMA ADMINISTRATION AND THEN
[317]
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT
THEY DON'T $800,000
[320]
TO TRUMPS CAMPAIGN AND BY THE
WAY, SINCE TRUMP GOT ELECTED,
[324]
THE STOCK VALUE FOR THESE
PRIVATE PRISONS HAS DOUBLED.
[328]
WE'RE NOT EVEN HIDING THE
BRIBERY ANYMORE, BECAUSE I
[331]
THOUGHT NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING
ABOUT IT.
[333]
THEY ARE NOT GETTING THE MONEY
OUT OF POLITICS SO WHAT
[335]
DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?
[336]
YET FROM, HERE'S YOUR HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLAR BRIBE.
[338]
MAKE SURE YOU WIN AND WHEN YOU
DO, MAKE SURE YOU USE MORE
[341]
PRIVATE PRISONS.
[343]
CHECK, CHECK.
[344]
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS.
[345]
REALLY GOOD DOCUMENTARY IS
13TH.
[350]
IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT, WATCH
THAT.
[351]
NOT ONLY DO YOU LEARN WHAT
WE'RE SPEAKING TO YOU BUT YOU
[354]
LEARN WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO
HAVE PRISON REFORM AND WHY
[357]
THEY WERE CREATED IN THE FIRST
PLACE, TO ENSLAVE MINORITIES.
[362]
AND NOW TO PROFIT.
[364]
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS A YEAR.
[365]
YOU THINK THE POLITICIANS ARE
GOING TO LET THAT GO WHEN THEY
[368]
KNOW THOSE ARE CONTRIBUTIONS TO
THEIR CAMPAIGNS?
[371]
IT'S GREED.
[372]
AND BY THE WAY, SOME OF YOU
MIGHT BE THINKING, OH,
[377]
WE'VE PRETTY MUCH LEGALIZED
MARIJUANA SO WHY ARE WE
[380]
WORRIED ABOUT HOUSING MORE
USERS?
[386]
JUST YESTERDAY, SEAN SPICER
HAD SAID THAT THE FEDERAL
[389]
GOVERNMENT WILL RESPECT
MEDICINAL MARIJUANA.
[392]
THEY WILL NOT RESPECT
RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA.
[395]
THEY PLAN ON CRACKING DOWN ON
THAT.
[399]
THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH THIS MOVE
REGARDING PRIVATE PRISONS
[402]
IS GOING TO SHAPE OUR POLICY
BECAUSE BIG BUSINESS WANTS
[406]
TO MAKE MONEY AND ONE WAY THAT
THEY MAKE THIS MONEY IS TO
[408]
CRIMINALIZE NONVIOLENT BEHAVIOR.
[412]
A LOT OF PEOPLE USE MARIJUANA
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
[414]
A LOT OF PEOPLE DRINK BEER.
[416]
THEY THOUGHT THAT'S GREAT.
[418]
THAT IS MORE MONEY FOR US, MORE
CUSTOMERS, CLIENTS FOR US.
[424]
TO SAM'S POINT, THERE HAVE
ALWAYS BEEN JAILS TO HOUSE THE
[430]
PEOPLE WHO BREAK THE LAW, BUT IF
YOU WATCH THE DOCUMENTARY THE
[433]
13TH YOU SEE HOW THEY
INDUSTRIALIZED AND MADE IT A
[436]
PRISON INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX AND
THEY NEEDED ALL OF THE STILLS
[439]
FIELD AND THEY WENT AND
BASICALLY ENSLAVED A BUNCH OF
[444]
AFRICAN-AMERICANS AGAIN AND SO,
JUST WATCH THE DOCUMENTARY.
[448]
IT IS NOT THE ONLY POINT OF
PRISONS, OF COURSE NOT, BUT YOU
[453]
WOULD BE SHOCKED AT WHAT A
HUGE PERCENTAGE OF THE
[458]
MOTIVATING DRIVE OF THE PRISON
INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IN THE
[461]
BEGINNING WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT
THEY KNOW THEIR PLACE.
[465]
THERE IS A LOT OF WAYS
AFRICAN-AMERICANS IN THIS
[467]
COUNTRY OF BENIN SLAVE.
[469]
THIS IS ONE OF THEM.
