Oh no but how is the predatory privatized prison service industry going to maximize shareholder value by exploiting one of the most vulnerable populations now?

Won't somebody think of the shareholders?!

They're upping the price of ramen to $9 per pack to make up for lost profits.

Mmm nothing like working 10+ hours at $0.36/hr at the prison laundry to buy a single pack of ramen from the commissary. Then not having hot water to properly cook it.

Sorry I just threw up on my mouth a little bit

We should start a fundraiser, those poor bastards won’t be able to afford their 4th mansion ):
