You've presented an extremely great rationale for why we should eliminate additional incentives to incarcerate people.

you know, incentives like allowing the prison to profit off of slave labor.

Is there any data on how much these prisons are making from such labor?

Also, this term "for profit" is thrown around a lot, suggesting there are perverse incentives. That seems true, but I imagine government-run prisons are prone to corruption as well.

If we want such private prisons to improve is it possible to pass legislation for what the minimum standards should be and regulations for ensuring they are met?
