  • Summary

  • The profit-driven prison system incentivizes incarceration regardless of rehabilitation needs or crime severity, leading to conflicts of interest and compromising justice. Collusion with pharmaceutical companies can lead to overmedication and addiction among inmates. Exploiting inmate labor for minimal wages perpetuates poverty and makes reintegration into society difficult. This approach is both morally and economically unsustainable, burdening taxpayers and failing to address root societal issues.
