    It’s a pittance ($74 billion) compared to the incomes of the families and corporations they protect. Yes they make money but they are not there to make money. They are there to take rights away from people and make sure they don’t revolt.

      I agree. The labor part, however, is totally about exploitation and profit. I’m sure they also get some joy in further eroding the rights and therefore humanity of the inmates while they are at it.
