Detention ≈ $66,000 per deportation.
2025: GEO/CoreCivic profits spiked 56–73% on detention expansion.
That money could fund family futures — but it fuels shareholders instead.

ATDs keep people showing up for hearings at ~92% — nearly the same as detention.
Cost per 1% attendance gain:
• ATDs/counsel: ~$7–9M
• Detention: ~$2.3–$5.0B
That’s a 600–700× price gap. Like buying one house vs. buying a whole neighborhood — for the same 1% result.

Community-based ATDs = 92%+ appearance rate at $4–$40/day (~$1.4k–$6k/yr).
Detention = $150–165/day (~$66k/deportation). Improves attendance by only 0.01%–3.69%.
Cost per 1% attendance gain:
• Detention ≈ $2.3–$5.0B
• Counsel/ATDs ≈ $7–$9M
→ 600–700× more efficient.

Hey #MiLeg, can we F I N A L L Y fix Michigan's worst in the nation public records and freedom of information laws?
Bills subjecting Michigan governor, lawmakers to public records law inch forward in House
The Center for Public Integrity in 2015 rated Michigan as the 43rd worst state for lobbying disclosure and gave it an F. Come on #MiLeg, we need to fix this as well as our worst in the nation public records and freedom of information laws
The #Michigan Senate passed a bill banning the #GayPanic & #TransPanic defense in court. Rep Laurie Pohutsky introduced HB4718, saying, "I was a young queer person when Matt Shepard was murdered, & it was the first time, although I was not out yet, that I realized, 'Oh, this could be very dangerous for me." The bill now goes to the Governor for her signature.
