The Business of Mass Incarceration | Common Dreams

The Business of Mass Incarceration | Common Dreams:

 "But this is not a new story. It happens to families every day in our gulag state. Bourne is one human being among hundreds of thousands routinely sacrificed for corporate greed. Her tragedy is of no concern to private contractors or supine judges and elected officials. They do not work for her. They do not work for us. They are corporate employees. And they know something Bourne is just discovering: Incarceration in America is a business."

Perhaps even a bigger business is aging. Corporations have to keep the elderly alive, barely, in order to profit from them.
