  5.  @levithewonderdog335  Prison is incredibly chill. You literally get to: •Workout •Elaborate Healthcare System • Earn degrees • Join new religions and get your soul saved • There's television, tablets , and plenty of internet. • There's a legit Cafeteria ( that serves pizza, and hamburgers, and egg sausage in the morning). •Art lessons and Music Lessons • There's a Privilege/ Demerit System 👆🏾 The reason the prisons of grown this large can I have become so turgid is actually because of the neoliberal privatization of the services which has been going on for a 100 years. Put more importantly the public-private commitments and contracts. For example, a private company will magically win the highly lucrative and highly competitive (no-bid) contract to provide catering to Fairfax County jails as well as catering for all state prisons. In this sense, the inmates will be getting better quality food and it's going to cost taxpayers more in the catering company is going to leave with a handsome some of money each year. Same goes for the apparel company that provides the uniforms for the prisoners. And for the guards. And the security software for the facility statewide. And these contracts can run for 20 years. 👆🏾 The prisoner isn't the product; the prisoner necessitates the product and justifies the expense. Of course the County treasurer in the board members are all friends with these businessman...soo Imagine the company that makes Suboxone, having a contract with all federal prisons? You see where I'm going. The whole hype about private prisons is BS. The real money is in public-private partnerships. Private prisons sound bad on a headline but in reality they make less than I think 15% of all prisons. It could be less. But if somebody's getting locked up it's going to be in the county jail we're in the state prison or the federal prison. It's that simple. The job of the prison is to ensure that nobody gets sued and that there are no violent incidents. It's just bad for business. That's why if you have an encounter and you're labeled ‘high risk’ they are forced to isolate you not as punishment but just out of protection for the facility.
