Detainees -- Got Charts?

Any and all other site links are needed and welcome here.

The purpose of this thread is to help us map where our detention centers are, where children separated from their families are. Charts comparing detainment and deportation by president aren't recommended here.

Any sites for any state help. Maps help. Photos help. Any names of culpable organizations and corporations help. Names of charts of Homeland, CBP, ICE people help.

Whatever we can or can't do to give material help, we can still help by sharing more here.

Here's a site I found tonight. It's interactive map (in the link, not here) seems like a good starting point.

1. Ask your states to ban the private ones at least . If they are not making a profit some of the push

for longer time and more facilities will fade from the private sector now profiting if no $ incentive
From the OP link:

How many people are detained in private immigrant prisons?

According to federal government data, over 60 percent of people are held in privately-run immigrant prisons. For example, GEO Group and Corrections Corporation of America/CoreCivic together detain approximately 15,000 people in immigration detention per day
..............
It is at least one move to reduce time and facility expansion

2. And three states shown above hold the most detainees for the longest time. Expensive. The money

would be better spent in expanding government employees to process them in or out, but not to keep expanding detention subcontractors.
