Arizona's SB1070 sparked a wave of copycat anti-immigration laws across the country, and this film traces the money behind them to the private prison industry. The Corrections Corporation of America, GEO Group, and Management and Training Corporation run more than 200 facilities holding over 150,000 beds, paid per detainee per night, which the film argues removes any incentive to speed up legal proceedings. Emily and Logan drive to Georgia for a husband and father's final court date. Roberto Martinez-Medina dies in custody a month after his arrest for driving without a license, after guards ignore reports that he was vomiting. A volunteer group called El Refugio feeds and houses visiting families outside one detention center until CCA staff start escorting its volunteers off the property. A former CCA officer describes what got her fired, and residents of Pembroke Pines, Florida, nearly unanimous in opposition, describe fighting a detention center planned for their community. The film's case is that detention has become a business model with no reason to end.
