President Biden nixed Justice Department contracts with private prisons via an executive order that he signed on Tuesday following last summer’s racial unrest.

Biden won the 2020 election, in part, due to his popularity among black Democrats. Now, he’s tackling some of their concerns voiced loudly after the death of George Floyd, a black man killed by a white police officer last Memorial Day, including their worries about the federal prison and housing systems. There are concerns in minority communities that those systems, and others, are biased against them.
