Ten years ago there were only five private prisons in the country, with a population of 2,000 inmates; now, 30 there are 100, with 62,000 inmates. It is expected that by the coming decade, the number will hit 360,000 according to reports. The private contracting of prisoners for work fosters incentives to lock people up. Prisons depend on this income. Corporate stockholders who make money off prisoners’ work lobby for longer sentences, to expand their workforce.
The number of private prisons increased from 5 to 100 in just 10 years. Their 62,000 inmate population is expected to hit 360,000 by the 2020s. The increased number of private prisons is due to incentives created by the hiring of prisoners into work positions. Corporate shareholders profit from prisoners’ labor, which incentivizes them to lobby for longer prison sentences. This allows them to increase the size of their workforce.
