The joos are squeezing more money out of the prison industrial complex. Leave it to these (((criminals))) to devise a way to profit off other criminals.

I'm okay with this as long as the money is used to fund the prison so law abiding tax payers' money doesn't have to be used. I think it is Japan or China where prisoners have to rely on their own family to support them in prison or they go hungry and unclothed. We should have that here, it might cut down on crime if the family is held responsible for the bills. Also, I have three family members who work in the prison system and personal visits agitate the prisoners (becuz if reminds them of what they are missing being locked up) and makes them more violent following the visits. That is why when someone is incarcerated, they try to place them in a prison far away from family so less visits, at least at the Federal level.

All well and good until you're incarcerated for trumped-up charges just to fulfill the county's quota for that month. I take it you've never been unfairly arrested.

Sounds like china, but now I want to look into that interesting tidbit.

I'm on a phone which makes a search more difficult however here's an interesting article by some white (I presume) dude who was incarcerated in china. https://www.prisonlegalnews.org/news/2014/jun/22/inside-chinese-prison-americans-perspective/

And here's an article on Japanese prisons. It's long, but you can skim to get to the last few lines for the punchline.
