The private detention facilities holding immigrants, which were not part of the Obama-era phasing out plan, is another overlooked  subject of human rights violations. Most detainees have committed no crimes other than a misdemeanor for crossing the U.S. border without proper documentation. The are segregated and kept in jail indefinitely and many are treated worse than criminals with practically no medical or  legal help available to them. If keeping prisoners locked is more profitable than releasing them,  then there is the crux of private  prisons and the detriment to America.
