WITNESS JOSHUA RUBIN posts-We have questions.

If so many children have left, as they tell us, why are so many of the so-called youth care workers still being dropped off on the north side of the prison, which, according to leaked documents, is no longer housing children? 1/6
Why do we see new employees, paperwork clutched in their hands, expectant looks on their faces, marching through the newly erected fence tunnels, for training?

Is the facility being repurposed for detention of others? 2/6
Or are we being misled by an agency of the government that feels free to deceive even the members of Congress that come here demanding answers? 3/6
Where are the children going? We know that recent rule changes have made it easier to place Category 1 & 2 kids, those with parents & close relatives in the US. With those changes, even the skeleton staff of caseworkers, working remotely, can place the kids with sponsors. 4/6
But what is happening to Category 3 and 4 kids? Placing them would require a staff that would eat into the profits of Caliburn. It is unlikely that they will give up a more significant piece of the $775 per day per child prisoner. 5/6
So, if, as the freely circulated rumor that this prison will divest of its lucrative population is true, what are they going to do with these more difficult cases?

Or, more pointedly, where is our government going to warehouse them next? 6/6
