The prison industry in America

Yes, I've found another article that speaks on the boom in private prisons in America. They are now using it for profit. It is now being used to use the slave labor of the inmates. Many of the big companies are rushing into the prison industry to reap the benefits from cheap, forced labor. It is very pitiful. Most of the inmates are being convicted of 'crimes' that have no real victims. These are better known as political crimes, as there really is no crime if there is not a flesh & blood injured party involved. Think about it! The statistics in the article show that the US has more inmates than any other country, even though we only represent 5% of the world's population. Even China, with over 1.5 billion people, has less incarcerated people than does the United States. What does that tell you? It is high time that we changed things in this country. Is this the legacy that we want to leave to our children?
