Costing tax payers millions
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. States make and save a shit ton of money through slave labor, they don’t necessarily want or need a business poking their nose in it.

lovehate how the title is about money and not people’s lives.People’s lives can be overrated; I’d take money over my neighbors’ all day everyday.
Late stage? Yes. Extremes? Buckle up bucko, you're in for a bumpy ride
