Federal Jury: Detention Center Owners Owe $17.3M to Detainee Laborers

They were in the country illegally, which makes them criminals anyway. Even though they may not have been charged with a crime, the underlying crime is sneaking in to the country.

Florida-based GEO Group, the owners of a for-profit immigrant detention center in Tacoma, Washington, owes $17.3 million in back pay to detainee workers who were being paid $1 a day for work they were doing rather than the state's minimum wage, a federal jury has determined.
