And heres the best part, all of that went into the pockets of the owners of privately owned prisons! Well done america. You took capitalism to its late stage extremes.
All the prisons listed in the article are state prisons, the prison problem in the US is only somewhat impacted by private prisons; the vast majority of prisoners (>90%) are in state or federally owned facilities.
