Ain't worth a broke dick

There are a thousand stories floating around out there on how America's prison system is quickly filling up and becoming a more privately corporate run entity. That's right, there are companies that exist solely to house other humans against their will. I'm not exactly Mr. Ethical but even I can see the problems that spring up when a company's profits are derived from getting more people in jail.

I don't even have to give my opinion on this subject because the numbers speak for themselves. The United States prison system is one of the most corrupt and disfunctional in the world. We house a larger percentage of our population in prisons than any nation in history. Now we have people, and politicians, making money off of putting people in the slammer. HOORAY!!!
