But detainee lawyers hit back, exposing a government flip-flop — just years ago, officials called private prisons “federal prisons” when operating for the government. Detainees allege widespread abuse: moldy towels, inadequate medical care, poor food, and contaminated water — all backed by over 20 firsthand accounts. The government’s lawyer denied problems exist and argued the government can’t fix what GEO doesn’t report — but the judge looked deeply skeptical, questioning whether the government can dodge constitutional responsibility once it hires a contractor. Detainees’ lawyers want this to become a class-action lawsuit, while the government seeks to dismiss the entire case — and the judge knows time is running out.
