If you really want to turn your stomach, you should check out some of the ipos and marketing material where they reference the low cost of labor and amenable population density overages allowable by state or local mandate..and the no-cost granted construction funds available as a reason to opt in on their prisons as a shareholder.
"Hey yall, there's a bunch of free money over here, and tons of poor people to do the work for us. We've got the officials in our pocket, and all we have to do is cram people into a cement box asshole to elbow, then make sure they stay there as long as possible."
My dear Rhythm - I'd call you a cynic if not for the fact that all of that bullshit is true.
