John,

Did you know that private prisons are exempt from federal transparency laws, like the Freedom of Information Act?

It’s pretty outrageous. Private prison companies are paid billions in taxpayer money, and there are serious longstanding concerns about safety, efficiency and abuse of inmates and detainees.

There is a bill that would change that, and start to shine a light on private prisons. Watch CREW’s new video to learn more.


Private prisons donate millions to politicians, while receiving billions in taxpayer money. It’s time to demand more transparency and accountability, and for President Biden to fulfill his campaign promise, and expand his executive order banning private detention for federal prisons to include private immigration detention facilities. Watch and share CREW’s new video on Twitter or Facebook to help spread the word about how we can shine a light on private prisons.

Thank you,


Noah Bookbinder
President, CREW
