I am always appalled at the fact that locking
people up can be a lucrative business. Our corporate world knows no
limits, if it can make a buck, then it will, no matter the method.
The corporate prison business in America, as else where no doubt, is
pouring large sums of money into lobbying to have new laws passed
that will hand out bigger sentences and leave fewer opportunities for
parole. That is one business plan to increase you business, of course
the fact that it is human misery that you're creating as a by product,
doesn't in the least matter. Immigrants are seen as another possible
growth area.
A Corrections Corporation of America report from
2010 actually stated that;
“The demand for our facilities and services could be adversely affected by---leniency in conviction or parole standards and sentencing practices---”
