    Look if you want to know why we’re spending money on detaining a tourist for longer than their planned leave date, take particular note of the profit motive hinted at in the article when they mention she’s being held by a private contractor…

    We often say cruelty is the point, but it isn’t really… Profit is the point, and cruelty just happens to be cheaper than humanity.
