      And how many of these other prisons offer up their prisoners as extremely cheap labor to businesses that ARE for profit?

      Listen I live in the USA, but if thats your best pushback to all those facts - should tell you what a dire state we are in. And prisons that aren’t for profit still send out prisoners to for-profit industries to work, so it’s kind of a moot point.

        california spending 100k+ per prisoner but renting them out for pennies is one of the insane unsustainable aspects of the system and then going and saying “we can’t afford to let them out” is mind numbing.

        The whole circus is just to keep wages down and arrest anybody folks don’t want in their shitty suburb.
