This is why these corporations lobby/fight so hard to keep the prison industry private. Their profits are obscene, and the only way to keep themselves profitable is to ensure a steady supply of slaves ahem I mean "criminals". The more people we put in jail the better it is for these companies.

Can you imagine that? Your company profits off of human misery, suffering, and destroying families/lives. I hope hell exists..

A whole bunch of your comments have been badly breaking the HN guidelines by being uncivil and by using the site for political and ideological battle, which is destructive of what HN is for. We ban accounts that do these things, so would you please not do them anymore?

(I'm replying to this one because it's your most recent comment, not because it's the worst of them, though it is the sort of overheated rant we don't want here, regardless of how correct the underlying point is.)

The prison industry is, overwhelmingly, not private. This farm in particular in run by the Colorado Correction Industry, a division of the Colorado Department of Corrections, not a private company.
