That those who own and run these Alabama for-profit-prisons have the unmitigated audacity to designate themselves members of the party that "respects human life" compel my absolute, if more clearly articulated damned ban-hammerable contempt.
America prosecuted German officers for similar brutal incarceration, deliberate neglect, and too often cold-blooded murder of their prisoners 80 years ago. It is unconscionable to me that those same inhuman crimes are occurring in broad daylight, for substantial profit, and summarily applauded by other sanctimonious hypocrites.
The whole point of having the state prosecute crime, in theory, is to keep individual retribution out of it. But with so many 'victim's rights' laws passing, that's not going to be the case much longer. Taking bets on whether we start having private prosecutions or just go with sanctioned vigilantism.
And prisons for profit
more prisoners? more money!

Hi, Stephen -- This is true. However, white collar crime actually does get too much of a pass. It hurts more people and should be severely prosecuted.
Hell, why bother release anyone at this point when the state can just keep building more and more prisons?
At least it'll solve the housing problem! /s

My latest Irish curse!
They wouldn’t take federal money to expand Medicaid, but they don’t mind going into debt to build a prison.
We hafta make slavery illegal if this is ever gonna get fixed. And while we're at it, outlaw the prison for profit system.
Capitalism.
