It’s public record that the US government is paying him to incarcerate these people, I’m certain this exact scenario that’s playing out right now was an unwritten part of that deal

If for profit prisons use prisoners as slave labor, they don’t just want violent criminals, violent criminals are hard to manage.
They want innocent nonviolent people.
