    It’s pretty annoying to always see for-profit prisons mentioned like they’re the majority. Only 8% of prisoners in the US are housed in them.

    The fact is that government run prisons are just as corrupt, if not more, through contracts that include kickbacks for the people in charge, or contracts owned by companies the people in charge or their families own.

    The concentration camps the immigrants are being sent to are where the labor will come from.

      if over 90.000 prisoners held in private prisons (in 2022!) is “only” to you, than yeah, those couple lifes is prolly just a drop in the ocean
