WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Joe Biden plans to take executive
actions on Tuesday to scale back the U.S. government’s use of private
prisons and bolster anti-discrimination enforcement in the housing
market, aides said.

The measures are part of a package of steps being taken by the new
Democratic president to roll back policies of his Republican predecessor
Donald Trump and promote racial justice reforms that he pledged to
address during the election campaign.

“These are just some of the first steps,” said Susan Rice, Biden’s
domestic policy adviser.

Under the new policies, the Justice Department not renew contracts with
private prison operators. Advocates have said privately operated prisons
have contributed to an increase in incarceration rates and treated
inmates poorly.

“Mass incarceration imposes significant costs on our society and
communities, while private prisons profiteer off of federal prisoners in
less safe conditions for prisoners and correctional officers alike,” the
Biden administration said in a fact sheet.



If he wants to reduce prison population, kill the War on Drugs. We lost
it. It is not winnable. About like trying to win a war in Somalia, or
Afghanistan.


I think what Biden wants to do is kill the disgusting practice of
private prisons.
