I hear this for profit prisons repeatedly endlessly but want to point out only 8% of prisons in the US are for profit that vast majority are public institutions
An exaggeration on my part. At the end of the day it did take an arrest, and two court appearances for the case to be dismissed - despite the difference in pregnancy and looking nothing like the matched photo. It's the same underlying broken mentality of closing a case at all costs, even if the cost is miscarriage of justice.

Not only is that number wrong, you're also ignoring the myriad ways prisoners are monetized. It's not strictly a privatized prisons game.
Like the price of phone calls, mail, and even water. It's all absolutely criminally exploitative and government gets a cut of those private contractor's profits.
Percentage of private prisons is 24%. https://bjs.ojp.gov/content/pub/pdf/csfacf19st.pdf
