    Review: "'American Prison' is both the remarkable story of a journalist who spent four months working as a corrections officer and a horrifying exposé of how prisoners were treated by a corporation that profited from them."https://n.pr/2Oys23I

        Imagine a world where prisoners are needed to turn a profit, so local, state, and national governments coordinated efforts to make sure prisons were stocked, with higher percentages of African-American males. You’ve entered the United States of America.

        Every single thing about privatized prisons is morally and financially reprehensible

        It’s an appalling conflict of interest and basic human rights to have For Profit Prisons. #Abolish

        I was grossly mistreated when falsely arrested 12 x's in IRC #TheOC. I was verbally abused & sexually assault by jail matron; needs of my life-threatening physical #Disability ignored; I was over-booked & held illegal time length for Book & Release. All cases were dismissed. @AP

        Most US prisons are owned by wealthy oligarchs and their companies, and are making huge profits, while the conditions in prisons are worse than in a concentration camp

        Not surprising, all too often people obtain authority and power and get off on the subjugation of others. Sometimes the mores zeros added to a paycheck can cause the person's intellect to regress towards zero. Ever feel more intelligent than your boss?
