Not to nitpick but not ALL prisons in the US are for-profit. They should be illegal though.
Fun fact - other countries that have for-profit prisons include Australia, Canada, France, the UK, Israel, South Korea, and New Zealand.
This won’t do much since most of these prisons operate under state jurisdiction, but in 2021, President Joe Biden issued an executive order to stop the United States Department of Justice from renewing further contracts with private prisons.
Because its not that fucked up?
Those countries have for profit prisons, but the big difference is that they dont incarnate one percent of their population
True, however there are bs for-profit elements to even the non-for-profit prisons. Predatory costs to calling / commissary / etc. that still benefit companies when the US imprisons more people.

Absolutely. We need a prison reform.
Even “not for profit” prisons are lining millionaires pockets with infrastructure and maintenance contracts.
