In a time where justice should evolve, we are witnessing the rebirth of an old system under a new disguise. It’s no longer ropes and trees, it’s raids and transfers. The question must be asked: Are African Americans the final victims swinging from the modern-day hanging tree, crafted not by rope but by policy, pro fit, and privatization? Let me break it down clearly. While most assume ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) only targets undocumented immigrants, there’s a more subtle strategy brewing.

The Real Reason: Follow the Money America spends approximately $100 to $200 a day to house each prisoner in domestic facilities. That’s roughly $60,000 per inmate per year. Now, imagine if the U.S. outsourced incarceration to places like Thailand, where the cost of housing a prisoner might be as little as $3 a day—or about $90 a month. (Not Saying at Thailand Would Do It) It’s just an example of. From a corporate standpoint, math is a gold mine. Each prisoner shipped overseas could generate an annual surplus of over $58,920.00 per head. Now multiply that by the 1,230,100 prisoners in the United States as of 2022, and you’re staring at a potential
