A posting in Facebook:
The prison industry in the United States: big business or a new form of slavery. No other society in human history has imprisoned so many of its own citizens.

My thoughts and comments:
The main objective of doing business is to make money and profits. Privatized prison system needs tenants / prisoners to keep the cells occupied. It keeps the very profitable business going. Even judges are played into this unjust game by passing severe long-term jail sentence on petty crimes like possession of weed. Privatized army also sucks, but war is an extremely profitable business, so the military industrial complex is happy to see or stir up troubles everywhere and anywhere. So very sick and selfish profiteering at the expense of people's life and death !!!!!

Where is the "prison capital" of the world ? It is not Iran or China. It is Louisiana, U.S.A. According to the Blue Street Journal, Louisiana's For-Profit Corporate Prison System has 3 times the incarceration rate of Iran and 7 times the incarceration rate of China.
