Nice to have a 2nd opinion. I look forward to seeing it.
Actually, the system is not broken from those profiting from it. Private prisons are based on a simple economic model: They need prisoners, for which the tax payer pays very dearly. So--time to conjure up some prisoners. Not enough prisoners to keep the profits rolling in? Arrest/frame innocent people, incarcerate, and the taxpayer foots the bill.
A pretty easy way to make money, with all of us paying for it.
