well it is the land of the free and the brave.
i agree there is a prison problem and it goes deeper than that.
way too many young people, mostly in the urban areas (LA, Chicago, Detroit, NY ETC) are told from very young age that they will never become anything, their dad was a thug and thats all they know.
this issue combined with a very strong policing, meaning if you do the wrong thing you WILL get punished produce a lot of criminals.
i dont see a problem with running prisons for profit, why would it be different than healthcare.
for all i care, they can put the hard time criminals on the northpole.
