What is detention replacing right now in the US economy? Federal money is being cut all over the place for education, for healthcare, general money given to states for a lot of different things. That money is being taken away at the same time as things like detention come to the fore as an opportunity.

Nancy Hiemstra and Deirdre Conlon join us to discuss their new book, Immigration Detention, Inc.: The Big Business of Locking up Migrants from Pluto Press. "The Moment of Truth" with Jeff Dorchen follows the interview.
