"Private prisons are morally wrong, and they're a rotten deal for American taxpayers," she posted on Facebook in 2016. Her historic view has shifted and now remains unaddressed.
In 2019, Harris ran for president in the Democratic primary saying it was "necessary to end the profit motive that drives these private prisons, as it is inhumane to profit off of imprisonment."
Harris expressed a strong commitment to ending private detention centers, stating at a 2019 town hall, "Absolutely, on day one. On day one." This resolve now seems questioned.
She praised California Gov. Gavin Newsom for signing a bill in October 2019 to try to close private prisons in the state, highlighting her commitment to the issue until recent ambiguity.
