profit in them thar convicts!

And the thing is, the more profits and contracts with occupancy rates, (90%) with states, the more draconian the laws and the stiffer the sentencing.

Nobody but the wealthy will be immune to this. When you or your kids get sucked into the system without trying, see how that goes.

There should be a major movement to reverse and stop this trend, but it is worldwide. This is Prison Planet and the future has bars.
