YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The private prison industry, generating $374 million in profits, pales in comparison to the broader criminal justice system, which commands an astonishing $200 billion annually. This vast industry encompasses judicial and legal sectors, prosecution, defense, policing, and related services like commissaries and telephone calls. Remarkably, the prison system's economic footprint is only two and a half times smaller than the oil industry, revealing the immense financial stakes in mass incarceration.
