“There is something so immoral about the fact that there are people that will get richer if more people are in jail.”

I accept your assertion that the first generation of private prisons were awful. But you have no solution here. You gonna reform public prisons run by unions + corrupt bureaucrats? At least w. private prisons there's a chance for success vs guaranteed failure with the status quo

what if private charitable money was used to establish non-profit prisons? The model that is interesting (first suggested, I believe, by Moldbug) is every prisoner in solitary with internet access.

Horrific.

🤔hmmmm... seems like Joe Biden has been in politics that entire time.

If democrats actually cared to focus on getting rid of private prisons, they'd have bipartisan support

The vicious circle ... privatize ... cut expenditures ... cut taxes for the rich ... give subsidies to the new privatized industries ... and get campaign donations in return ... it's all about the money! ... and as shown here ... people like Holly suffer!

It’s colonial, The London Company was corporate apocalyptic colonization of the native world. We dont need to imagine what a corporately owned society would look like; the South was it, beginning in Virginia.

Riden’ with Biden

Yes. Of all the things we’ve allowed to be privatized, the perversity of private prison is the worst. You are incentivized to incarcerate and incarcerate longer for profit. Stupid wrong.
