For critics of the industry, their fears materialized a few months ago when CCA proposed a $250 million deal to 48 states. The company would buy state prisons and manage them if the states would guarantee a 90 percent occupancy rate.
Buntman said turning the imprisonment of people into profit leads to the over-criminalization of America and deemphasizes rehabilitation.
In the same way Planned Parenthood works to increase sales, I can see this going the same way. Why rehabilitate a prisoner when it's more profitable to have them commit crimes and keep coming back. Ka ching.
