And by public sector actors I don’t just mean corrections officer unions but also prosecutors, legislators at city, state and federal level, police and their frequently awful unionshttps://twitter.com/chasemadar/status/982790664143474689?s=21 …

So businesses don't benefit from prison labor?https://www.cagedbirdmagazine.com/single-post/2017/03/28/50-Companies-Supporting-Modern-American-Slavery …

Benefit, yes. But not even close to being the engine or even a top 5 cause of our world-beating incarceration rate.

Both can be true. Look at forest fires: basically untrained, unpaid prisoners fight fires in the West.
-
Both theoretically can be but in real life both are not. Are you proposing that mass incarceration’s true engine is low-cost outdoor firefighter? To understand our crisis we have to see clearly what, proportionally, are its caused.
-
No, not cause. But not trivial, either. Mass incarceration serves more than one master.

Your post is false and counterproductive. The plutocrats, you carry water for, have never objected mass incarceration. They actually promoted the laws to achieve it.

There is always disbelief that bad things happen because of bad people rather than overzealous well-intentioned good people. Mass incarceration isn't racist it's just stupid policy done by very smart scared people who want to get elected.

Given the forces that are powering this, we have to address both the causes and the groups who profit from the status quo. You can't do one without crippling the other.

I'm not sure why we have mass incarceration, I just know it needs to end! I doubt there is only 1 reason

We have mass incarceration because of fear (justified) and a lack of education on the power and effectiveness of rehabilitation. (Much less so)
