I’ve heard some prisons have minimum prisoner requirements, which is incredibly fucked up

How does that play out? Do they try to extend sentences? Can they try to influence intake?

I remember there was a scandal in Pennsylvania where a judge was paid to funnel juveniles into a private detention center

:( That's not nice

I dare to say it is incredibly fucked up, even more so when you consider those pieces of shit just had to pay a fine (a hefty one, sure) and didnt go to jail
