Layoffs recently had to do with the decline in ‘immigrant’ detainees.
In November, a person being held at Piedmont Regional [...]

These Legislators Like Private Immigrant Prisons and Inhumane Treatment

Posted in 2009 General Assembly, Clarke Hogan, House of Delegates, Watkins Abbitt on February 10, 2009 | 1 Comment »

They must, because they voted 22-0 to pass along a bill that permits employees of private prisons to train at a Commonwealth-funded training facility in Lynchburg. I have written about this before, in terms of the sponsor of this bill, Watkins Abbitt.
