Palantir doesn't build holding cells. They've worked with the government for many years, long prior to this recent and ongoing debacle.

They don’t build the cells. They just help fill them.

If you’re helping put people into inhumane conditions, you’re at the very least an accessory to these crimes.

As someone that has been incarcerated, I would be instigating a riot in those conditions.
