Mar 28, 2012 - prisons are just one of those things that should never be for profit. society also has a price to pay for producing the criminals, just as the criminals have a price to pay for their crimes. not to mention corporations like to expand their market, and to expand a "prison market" you need more prisoners. so your company will do what it can to get more prisoners.

Mar 30, 2012 - I had no idea private prisons existed! What a crazy country. US prison system is the new slave trade, that's why they are so harsh on "crime" because they want more slaves.

Apr 7, 2012 - Private prisons should be closed down or taken over by the state. This prisons sound I lot like the debtors prison in the late 1800's.

Apr 27, 2012 - this is nothing new or suprising... you should see the prices for everything on canteen-1.50 for a pack of ramen noddles... because they can. now that doesn't sound like a lot-but normally they are at most 10 for a dollar. profit off of suffering-and they wanna throw me in jail for grand larceny. pieces of shit!
renzokata Says:
Apr 27, 2012 - they dont pay for workforce or trusty either-in workforce they work you like a slave. you get talked to like your the biggest piece of shit in the world. humiliating and taken advantage of. you know what you get for hard work-cutting miles of grass each day(they get paid by the city-thousands a day for their work)-a SOMEWHAT decent meal(they call them staff trays-only 1 a day)-and 4 days for each month off your sentence. legal slavery.
