Private prison company offers to buy 48 states’ prisons | The Raw Story

Private prison company offers to buy 48 states’ prisons | The Raw Story

Did you know that when private prison companies buy prisons from the state they base it on the number of prisoners? They are actually buying the prisoners. They look for the prisons with the youngest and healthiest prisoners so that they do not have to spend much for health care. More prisoners die at privately owned prisons than state owned ones.

When you think about the fact that these private companies are actually buying people and keeping them in cages it kind of puts a new slant on slavery.
