"As most of these things go, it's all about money," Barnett's attorney, Paul DeMuro, told NBC News. "The jail is a huge source of revenue for the county, so the financial piece of this story is a very important one.".

Oh, prison profits... It all makes sense.

Court systems are very corrupt. The government is primarily a mafia.
