Aren't some prisons for-profit?

Boy howdy, they sure are. Judges end up taking bribes to send people to them too! What a country.

So the prisons will probably lobby against shifting money to more police patrolling for deterrence.

The solution is obviously to allow the for-profit prisons to branch out into for-profict policing, too. /s
