The note argues that the private prison industry significantly influences immigration policies, leading to increased detention and oppression of immigrants. It advocates for abolishing private prison contracts, citing the negative social and humanitarian impacts, and suggests that states like Arizona should adopt legislation similar to Illinois and New York to protect immigrants' rights.
