Female detainees on way to deportation being groped, propositioned by male guards
"Corrections Corporation of America" . . .another government function outsourced with great success, I take it. :eyes:


=====
WASHINGTON - Immigration and Customs enforcement says it is investigating allegations that a guard at a central Texas detention facility sexually assaulted female detainees on their way to being deported.

Spokesman Brian Hale says the guard has been fired and Corrections Corporation of America, which manages the prison, is on probation pending the investigation's outcome.

ICE says several women who were held at T. Don Hutto detention facility in Taylor, Texas, were groped while being patted down and at least one was propositioned for sex.

ICE has ordered Corrections Corporation of America to make changes, including not allowing male guards to be alone with female detainees.

A letter from the Homeland Security Department to the corrections company obtained by The Associated Press says the company faces a fine.

1. Quick justice
Charge 'em, convict 'em, and throw 'em in the same cells as all the people waiting to be deported.

Dispose of the remains later.

2. Too much regulation and oversight, no doubt.
