Investigation into possible tuberculosis spread at Aurora ICE facility blocked by private company, health officials say

In a statement issued Tuesday, Weidenbach confirmed that investigators are still being denied access to the infected patient, medical records, information on detainee movement and other details needed to determine who may have been exposed to the disease and how far it may have spread. This lack of cooperation comes despite the Adams County Health Department issuing a public health order on June 25 requiring compliance, the department said.

When I don't want to follow a government order a police officer makes me do it anyway by threatening violence, same thing should happen here

The Guardian news organization reported Tuesday that at least 12 detainees at the Aurora facility have tested positive for tuberculosis in recent days. The news outlet based its report on the account of one detainee currently being held at the facility. The detainee said the 12 positive cases have not been separated from a group of 76 other detainees in a single pod who are all being held in quarantine together — and that the air conditioning went out in their pod on Sunday at the start of a dangerous heat wave.

This shit is like the gallows of slave ships, absolutely disgraceful conduct by the government

Fuck GEO.

I was forced to do some work for one of their satellite offices, and every single person there was a vile human being and seemed to give no fucks about anyone but themselves.

They're a horrible company that needs to be shut down. Private prisons are just so beyond fucked.

Fuck private prisons and anyone who owns or invests in them. Fucking pure evil bullshit to profit off suffering.

How long until one of the animals working there takes it to the bar where the TB can spread?
