More horseshit from the incarceration industrial complex.
Company sued government for not adhering to contract.
The moral outrage should be at the people involved in the contract negotiations for the government and the fucker who ended up signing said contract. That group of persons and their entire genepool should be made to fill the vacant spots.
We had something a little similar here. Local government had a contract with an incineration company for trash. Then we started separating our trash more for recycling. And the local government is now BUYING trash from Italy and trucking it here to be incinerated because that is cheaper than the fines in the contract.
and their entire genepool
Hey look it’s The Sins Of The Father
Prison reform would be great. Not even changing anything bout how they’re run, just make them government run with oversight. Private prisons are obviously clearly immoral and they’re only getting worse for the sake of profit. Making money in nefarious ways using incarcerated people is so fucking clearly wrong it’s amazing that it even got to this point. They broke the laws of the state/country, they should be imprisoned by the state/country. Not some evil prick that will do anything to have more prisoners and keep current prisoners. That’s so fucking bat shit insane.
"You promised us a complete breakdown of society and a decent into criminal anarchy that would drive our profits to never before seen levels.
Stability and a well provided for populace was NOT part of our deal!"
Imagine living in a country where prisons are for profit.
but
slaveryprison labour is really profitable
Gross
Imagine a contract negotiated with the state with SLA KPI “new monthly prisoner”
That’s the society we got.
I do love the generative AI is getting better at imagining text.

I waited for a train for the first in years the other day and every third connex was a dark gray Amazon box with the blue smile. It felt surreal and utterly dystopian cyberpunk
