"The GEO private prison group currently detains about 21,000 people in ICE custody, which is about one-third of all ICE detainees. Detainees in some of those facilities have sued GEO Group and the federal government, alleging they are being held in unconstitutionally inhumane conditions.
"There has been litigation regarding overseeing of medical services, food services, general cleanliness, etc. It's really unprecedented and, I believe it's fundamentally unconstitutional," George Zoley bellyached.
GEO Group did not respond to an email asking what, specifically, is unconstitutional about the lawsuits."
