President Biden's executive order phasing out the federal government's use of private prisons could cost taxpayers $6 million, according to a report issued Wednesday by the Justice Department's internal watchdog.
The U.S. Marshals Service, which oversees housing federal pretrial detainees, let five contracts lapse after Mr. Biden signed the order in January 2021, reported the Justice Department’s inspector general.
The local agency simply signed a contract with the same private company that was being used by the marshals before the executive order at a much higher rate. In a response accompanying the inspector general’s report, the Marshals Service said it had begun moving pretrial detainees out of the facility but had not been able to find housing for the remaining 541 inmates.
