President Joe Biden is directing the Justice Department to not renew contracts with private prisons, as part of a slew of executive orders focused on racial equity he is signing Tuesday.
The Biden administration will not enter new contracts with private prisons, according to a senior administration official. The Biden administration has not yet released the text of the order.
During a White House press briefing on the new actions, domestic policy advisor Amb. Susan Rice said that the executive order would only apply to Department of Justice facilities and not to Department of Homeland Security facilities, like private ICE detention centers. It addresses the Department of Justice prisons in the first instance and is silent on what may or may not transpire with ICE facilities, Rice told reporters.
Additionally, according to the senior official, Biden is signing three others that are more symbolic in nature: one affirms Tribal sovereignty, one disavows xenophobia against Asian Americans, and one will direct the Department of Housing and Urban Development to examine the Trump administration's regulatory practices and move forward in promoting equitable policies.
Over the last decade, ending private prison funding has become a major cause for Democrats and criminal justice activists, elevated as well by the rising Black Lives Matter movement.
This is the first step to stop corporations from profiting off incarceration that is less humane and less safe as the studies show, Biden said during remarks before signing the executive actions. This is just the beginning of my administrations plan to address systemic problems in our criminal justice system.

He's like the energizer bunny. He keeps going and going and going.

There is no "would of", "should of" or "could of".
There is "would've", "should've" and "could've".
