> Is this something that people against private prisons believe...that they just release all the prisoners when they close the prison?
No. The goal of wiping out the private prisons is simply that profit motive in the justice system is always an inherent conflict of interest.
The fact that ICE is getting smashed is just a side benefit.
Adelanto is almost 2,000 people and is the second biggest detention center for ICE. Who knows, ICE may indeed free these prisoners rather than spend the money to transport them to facilities that can't house them anyway. Wouldn't that be a nice benefit?
