And in how many of those is it legal for prison corporations to buy laws?
Theoretically, none, including the United States. In practice, all of them. They are all Capitalist nations, and under Capitalism companies weaponize their massive pool of wealth and resources to push for favorable laws. Thus, any nation with for-profit prisons will see those prison companies perform some type of lobbying.
Unfortunately, Citizens United essentially makes it legal. In most other developed countries, it's not nearly as simple. Not saying corruption doesn't happen, but in many countries it's punishable if it comes out. In my country an MP was investigated for buying a car because she received a discount from the dealer and thought it was normal, but it was considered a potential bribe.
Oh! Many countries do it, so it's fine! Noted.
Someone asked a question and someone gave an answer. It isn't a political commentary.
Not saying it's fine, just that stupid questions deserve stupid answers.
Then go find go find a stupid question to give your stupid answers to.
For-profit prisons are a fucking scourge, and they're way too common.
I already have though... I hope you have a better day, friend.
