Assessments

unresolved unknown

The available evidence only shows recent official activity and a lack of any visible prison-related or for-profit-prison legislation on the member’s site. That is not enough to confirm that Thanedar sponsored or materially advanced legislation to end for-profit prisons, but it also does not prove he never did elsewhere. Based on the provided record, the promise remains unresolved.
