新法案取缔营利性监狱后,加州将对私人监狱行业造成重大打击

2019-09-14 19:07   美国新闻网   - 

 

       在立法者投票禁止私人监狱,包括私营的美国移民和海关执法拘留中心后,加利福尼亚州将对私人监狱行业造成重大打击。

       星期三,65名加利福尼亚州议会议员投票赞成AB-32,这是一项旨在禁止私人监狱的新立法,而11名议员投票反对。

       加州州长加文·纽瑟姆(Gavin Newsom)在成为法律之前仍需签署该法案,但他预计会支持这项禁令,因为他本人呼吁在他的就职典礼中一劳永逸地“终止对私人监狱的愤怒”。一月的演讲。

       如果签署,新的立法将在2020年总统选举“2020年1月1日或之后”生效,并将禁止加利福尼亚州政府“与私营营利性监狱签订或续签合同,以监禁州监狱的囚犯。 “

       该法案似乎确实例外,允许续签或延长与私营营利性监狱设施的合同,为州监狱囚犯提供住房,“以符合任何法院命令的人口上限的要求”。

       撰写AB-32的议员Rob Bonta于周三在Twitter上庆祝该法案的通过,使加利福尼亚州“正处于创造历史性和必要改革的边缘”。

       “人不是商品!” 他说。

       法律明确指出,该法案应适用于任何“私人拘留设施”,其中“为了执行法院判处的刑罚或在审判,听证或其他审判前的拘留而将人员监禁或以其他方式非自愿地限制司法或行政诉讼。“

       因此,该法案的通过不仅代表了刑事司法改革的胜利,而且也是移民倡导组织的一个重大胜利,他们长期以来一直反对使用私人监狱公司来安置被拘留的移民。

       根据AB-32,四个大型移民拘留中心可容纳多达4,500人,可能在未来五年内被迫关闭。

       所有这四个目前都由Geo集团运营,Geo集团是全国各地的主要监狱服务承包商。

       据“卫报 ” 报道,所有四所监狱的吸引力将于2023年到期,根据新法案无法续签。

       据报道,Bonta最初只包括州监狱管理局与私人监狱公司的合同。

       然而,他在6月重写了立法,以确保禁令涵盖加州的ICE设施。

       新闻周刊已经联系Bonta的办公室,对本文发表评论。

CALIFORNIA TO BAN ICE DETENTION CENTERS HOUSING THOUSANDS OF IMMIGRANTS AFTER NEW BILL CLAMPS DOWN ON FOR-PROFIT PRISONS

       California is set to deliver a major blow to the private prison industry after lawmakers voted to ban private prisons, including privately run U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention centers across the state.

       On Wednesday, 65 California State Assembly members voted in favor of AB-32, the new legislation seeking to ban private prisons, while 11 members voted against it.

       The legislation still needs to be signed by California Governor Gavin Newsom before it can become law, but he is expected to support the ban, given that he himself called for an end to the "outrage of private prisons once and for all" in his inaugural speech in January.

       If signed, the new legislation would come into effect after the 2020 presidential election "on or after January 1, 2020" and would prohibit California's government from "entering into or renewing a contract with a private, for-profit prison to incarcerate state inmates."

       The bill does appear to make an exception, however, allowing the renewal or extension of contracts with private, for-profit prison facilities to provide housing for state prison inmates "in order to comply with the requirements of any court-ordered population cap."

       Assemblyman Rob Bonta, who authored AB-32, celebrated the bill's passage on Twitter Wednesday, priding California on being "on the verge of creating historic and needed reform."

       "People are not commodities!" he said.

       The legislation makes clear to point out that the bill should apply to any "private detention facility" where "persons are incarcerated or otherwise involuntarily confined for purposes of execution of a punitive sentence imposed by a court or detention pending a trial, hearing, or other judicial or administrative proceeding."

       Therefore, the bill's passage not only represents a victory for criminal justice reform, but it is also a major win for immigration advocacy groups, who have long railed against the use of private prison companies to house detained immigrants.

       Under AB-32, four large immigration detention centers with the capacity to hold up to 4,500 people could be forced to shut down within the next five years.

       All four are currently operated by the Geo Group, a major prison services contractor operating facilities across the country.

       According to The Guardian, the contracts for all four prisons are set to expire in 2023 and cannot be renewed under the new bill.

       Initially, Bonta had reportedly only included the state prison authority's contract with private prison companies.

       However, he rewrote the legislation in June to ensure that California's ICE facilities would be covered by the ban.

       Newsweek has reached out to Bonta's office for comment for this article.
