THIS IS DISGUSTING....I GUESS THIS IS ONE WAY TO GET FREE LABOR:
Geo Group asked ICE to change federal standards, Washington Post says
Geo Group asked Immigration and Customs Enforcement remove lines in the federal standards saying contractors needed to follow state and local laws around the treatment of detainees and that ICE amend language to support its legal position in these cases, Douglas MacMillan of Washington Post reports, citing person briefed on the discussions. Geo has faced lawsuits in three states alleging it violates minimum-wage laws by paying some immigrant detainees
$1 a day to work, according to the Post. The company also asked that the federal standards specify that detainees are not employees of the facilities where they work. The new national detention standards, which ICE posted to its website today, include some of Geo's requested changes, according to the appear.
