Better conditions and services increase operational expenses for detention facilities. Requires funding for additional staff, medical care, and infrastructure improvements. May strain federal budget.
Detention facility operators may struggle meeting new standards immediately. Requires significant facility upgrades and staff training. Implementation could be complicated.
