Corrections Corp: Go Directly to Jail, Do Not Pass Go, Do Collect Big Returns [View article]
CCA makes profits off of an unjust criminal justice system. Isn't anyone bothered by this paragraph in the above article,
"The rate of incarcerated persons in the United States is growing at a much faster rate than the general population of the United States. A projection done in 2007 by the Pew Center on the States projected a 13% increase in prison inmate population from 2007 to the end of 2011 while the general population of the United States is only expected to grow 4.5% during that same period."
How can incarceration rates go up when the national crime rate goes down? Doesn't this strike anyone as odd?
Slave traders made profits from human misery...I see CCA in the same catagory.
