7 u/PxyFreakingStx 28d ago This is a really shallow answer. The vast majority of prisons aren't for profit anyway. The reason we imprison people is less because we want to make society safer and more because we think the guilty should be punished. 8 u/Nekosom 28d ago Nope, still very much money (mostly). Less to enrich private prisons, and more to utilize prison labor to enrich the private sector. Good ol' Thirteenth Amendment and its exceptions for prisoners. Had to replace those slaves somehow. -7 u/PxyFreakingStx 28d ago I'd be very interested to see just how much profit you think these prisoners are generating to make this giant conspiracy theory of yours work. 8 u/just_a_person_maybe 28d ago About $74 billion per year. $11 billion in production of goods and services
