I'm ok with that, as long as they keep the unwanted locked up. What I hate is we pay to baby sit them with free rent, food, health care, dental a damn gym and free cable. Take it all away and give them free rent, food, health care, dental and 8 hours of real work so they can repay the state.

Even the non-private prisons are a source of profit. This is something that's often overlooked. The whole industry is corrupt. The prison lobby is like the 2nd or 3rd largest lobbying group in the US, it's ridiculous. They advocate for harsher laws so they have more prisoners, because their federal funding is based on the number of prisoners they have. Which is why so many prisons are overcrowded, because it's profitable. 1 out of 100 Americans is locked in a concrete box right now because of all this... it's a genuine crime against humanity

I agree.

Without prisons every town in this country will look like ChiCongo. We obviously need more to house all the immigrant savages.
