[QUOTE="LarryBird, post: 3976002, member: 76548"] I didn’t read the thread. I hope people aren't seriously arguing that the business of incarceration isn't a for profit endeavor? So many prisons are privately owned and operated by for profit entities. They have an implied agreement with area law enforcement and judicial systems, that they will build it as long as they keep it full. Even if it's not a private prison, there's a powerful union among the guards and workers in these county, state, and federal prisons, and they have considerable political clout - they demand public officials who are tough on crime aka put people away for a long time in prison. There's a whole industrial complex set up around prisons in America, that's why we have the highest percentage of the population in the world imprisoned, in our so called, free country - perhaps the least free of all the free countries, it could be argued anyway.
