JOHN DICKERSON: Good morning and welcome to Face the Nation. More than 151 million American adults are fully vaccinated. That s just under 60%.

Mlmf Tillerson finds skeptics as he presses EU allies on Iran deal
The Justice Department says it plans to reduce its use of private prisons after concluding that the privately run facilities are not as safe or secure as government run facilities.The Justice Department is directing the Bureau of Prisons to take steps to reduce and ultimately end the use of privately operated prisons. I am directing that, as each contract reaches the end of its term, the Bureau should either decline to renew that contract or substantially reduce its scope in a manner consistent with the law and the overall decline of the Bureaursquo inmate population, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates wrote Thursday. The Department of Justice began contracting with private prisons to confine federal inmates a stanley cup fter the federal prison population increased by 800 percent between 1980 and 2013. In 2013, as the federal prison population reached its peak, approximately 15 percent of the federal prison population were housed in privately operated prisons.Last month, the federal government declined to renew a contract for approximately 1,200 beds. In Thursdayrsquo memo, Yates said the federal government is reducing an existing contract solicitation from a maximum of 10 stanley cup ,800 beds to no more than 3,600. Together, these changes will reduce the total private prison population to less than 14,20 stanley mug 0 inmates by May 1, 2017.
