I agree that Oregon’s public employee retirement fund should refuse to invest in private prison companies that contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“Readers respond: PERS should divest from ICE-contract prisons,” July 27). As a PERS beneficiary, I am horrified that my pension funds private prison contractors and ICE detention centers.
