Summary
Donald Trump suggested deporting violent repeat American offenders to foreign countries willing to incarcerate them for a small fee.
The proposal, shared at a Republican retreat in Florida, has no legal precedent in the U.S. and would require new legislation.
Critics cite constitutional concerns, including the Eighth Amendment that prohibits “cruel and unusual punishments.”
The idea follows Trump’s broader crackdown on illegal immigration, which a recent poll shows has significant bipartisan support.
I’ll happily take a spot in a Nordic prison.
From experience I can tell you that even a nice prison is still a prison. Being locked up fucks with your mind.
I think, you insulted several nations by calling the Netherlands nordic.
Oh no! I need to be punished!!
