    While private prisons are abhorrent and unconscionable, they aren’t even close to the root cause of our prison problem. Hint: it’s systemic racism and our militarized police culture.

    Louisiana, the #1 on the list supposedly had 0 private prison inmates in 2021. Blaming private prisons at this point almost feels like deflecting from the real issues.

      Who bribes funds free speeches the politicians who wrote those laws?

      Edit: I think I should be explicit. The owners of the private prisons do.
