Alternatives to Detention (ATDs) cost $3k–$6k per person, 92% effective for hearings (DHS 2021 [4]). Compare that to $66k for detention with only 0.01%–3.69% compliance gain (GAO 2023 [2]). #MichiganDignityAct bans for-profit detention, funds ATDs, saves $1.68B (280k ATDs at $6k). Spend smarter, save dignity! #What66kBuys

The Detention Center Premium is real: $66k/deportation in FY2026 ($18.75B ÷ ~280k, TRAC 2025 [1]). Compare: 2016: $17.7k, 2024: $38k (GAO 2023 [2]). GEO/CoreCivic pocket $1.73B, yet conditions are inhumane—kids die, no beds (ACLU FOIA 2024 [3]). #MichiganDignityAct fights this. #DignityForAll #ShowYourWork
