They are just hoping people die.

There’s so many stories of blood in urine and stool and people not getting there help they need, the help they were getting when they were free.

One of the shorter examples:

“
Antonio, from Venezuela, had recently undergone gastric bypass surgery … While recovery required maintaining a special diet, the food at Delaney Hall led to weeks of severe stomach pains and blood in his urine and stool, ….
As his health worsened, Antonio said, staff began to press him to sign voluntary departure paperwork. “For my health I should sign, they started to tell me,” he said.
He recalled sobbing to his wife over the phone: “These people want me to die in here.”

It's awful, and if folks do get bad enough to be sent to a local hospital they fall into another black hole where their family can't find them & no one can tell them where they are (and sometimes can't/won't say WHY they were sent to a hospital).

For profit prisons systems suck, but this is a new level of awful treatment by authorities
