Oh no but how is the predatory privatized prison service industry going to maximize shareholder value by exploiting one of the most vulnerable populations now?
Mmm nothing like working 10+ hours at $0.36/hr at the prison laundry to buy a single pack of ramen from the commissary. Then not having hot water to properly cook it.
One time, I knew my probation officer was going to lock me up. I think I gave a hot urine or something equally stupid. Anyway, with the thought of county in my mind, I headed to the PO office with a backpack full of books. I hoped they would let me keep them with me when I got booked. Suprisingly, they let me keep all the books with me! When I got released, I gave the books away to the other inmates. I hope they're still being passed around in there.

Won't somebody think of the shareholders?!

They're upping the price of ramen to $9 per pack to make up for lost profits.

Spent a couple days in county and calling outbound to beg for help was my only respite. That and an old Tom Clancy novel a guy let me have.
Don't get me started on denying prisoners books.

My credit card got stolen and the only charges were calls from a prison and I wasn't even mad.
