This site is focused on reforming the mass incarceration system that continues to take tax payer dollars to not only build prisons but keep them afloat. The largest problem highlighted by Raices is the contracts constructed around bed mandates in private prison immigration detention centers. The U.S. is the country with the most individuals imprisoned per-capita around the world but why is this. Raices is an organization that is bringing awareness to this problem stating that secure contracts allow for the prison industry to be so profitable and protected from changing policy.
