TIL way too many people think private prisons operate by profiting off the labor of prisoners. Guys, it’s still the government paying.

Not that they’re doing a bang up job at the moment. I just don’t see how further complicating it with a private entity with government incentives will make a positive change.
Yeah, our prisons are an abomination before God and I don't have strong enough language to describe how evil private prisons are I want a total overhaul of our justice system: burn it all down and start over

From my teenage years to my late 20’s I had a member of my nuclear family in prison. It’s maddening the things that are excusable to polite society in the name of criminal justice. But reform barely touches the platforms of Dems and is anathema to R’s. Heartbreaking.

Not to prosthelytize, but the only people I've seen who actually seem to care about prison reform in a substantive way is the left (as opposed to liberal Democrats who, as with so many things, talk a good game and do both jack and shit)
