Summary
Brianna Nofil, assistant professor of history, was the guest on this episode of the Throughline podcast.
Full Description
"The U.S. immigration detention system is spread out across federal facilities, private prisons, state prisons, and county jails. It’s grown under both Democratic and Republican presidents. And it’s been offered up as a source of revenue for over a century, beginning with the first contracts between the federal government and sheriffs along the Canadian border. "
