death factory

In social media posts, Horwitz wrote that CoreCivic is a “death factory,” “juices its profit margins by deliberately understaffing facilities and skimping on healthcare” and makes it easier to get drugs in its facilities “than almost anywhere else in America.”

It was Grossman, reporting on the death factory as a journalist in the Red Army, who gave us the crucial account of Treblinka.
