Hillary Clinton slammed private prisons during Monday’s debate, despite lobbying for policies that have led to increased incarceration rates and receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars from private prison lobbyists this election cycle.
“I’m glad that we’re ending private prisons in the federal system; I want to see them ended in the state system,” Clinton said during her debate with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. “You shouldn’t have a profit motivation to fill prison cells with young Americans.”
