  • Many may be victims of a legal system that incentivizes recidivism and bullshit laws.

    For profit prisons need bodies to get federal cash, plus the cash from the underpaid labor the prisoners provide.

    I’m sure it would cost the government less to implement social programs that help nurture and support everyone than to continue to subsidize and pay private prisons.

    I have no proof of anything. But saying most don’t want to change seems hyperbolic and dog whistle-y.

    A very small minority are probably wired wrong and are indeed unchanging in their ways, I’d say the vast majority were set up to fail for profit.
