    But if crime declined, the poor private prison corporations would lose money, and that’s not a good thing. They wouldn’t be able to give judges kickbacks to sentence lesser crimes! Please, think of the poor private prison corporations!

    /s in case the sarcasm isn’t abundantly clear.

      I have lived in 4 states that called out prison income and highlighted the deficit on prison labor as a problem. The sarcasm and the callout are necessary.

      California especially they litterally put they’re lives on the line for your payout. And it still wasn’t a sure thing.

      The state is not entitled to the labor of prisoners, especially those that are increasingly political in nature. This apply’s equally to California, Texas, Missouri, and New York.
