The private prison industry is huge and getting bigger, Florida is privatizing 18 more prisons. In the states like Oklahoma it is a big biz. From the time a person is booked until they are released, each prisoner is figured on a dollar amount, hours worked etc vrs costs of incarceration. Its really a fucked up deal. It also removes jobs from both the private sector as prisons provide in house labor and manufacturing for a really long list of companies. So the prisoners are paid slave wages literally, and most states then allow the prison to bill the prisoners for room and board medical etc. So it truly is slave labor. Many states that have private prisons also contract out state services to the prisons. That Oklahoma has made prisons an industry speaks about how poor a state it has become, if prisons are a leading industry it speaks volumes about American and what direction we seem to be headed
