  • Maybe like the movie GAMER they want prisoners kill themselves over guns for money for public so it can reduce population and be a legal game.. Or Something Else They dont want me to know.

  • So, if you own stock in CCA, get sent a CCA prison for a crime....do you get a suite? Would that be considered house-arrest? This is were it gets crazy...

  • yow! >.< I didn't even know there were for-profit prisons in the states! Since moving to europe, I've learnt that the rehab programs in the prisons in the country where I live see far fewer reincarcerations, and even though the prison sentances are much shorter, they're more effective.

  • I'm glad someone is pointing out the fact that prisons are a business, and in order to keep the business and money flowing, they need prisoners.

  • Comment removed

  • This guy is actually pretty good.

  • the forerunner of fema camps.

  • Private prisons treat you better than the state run prisons

  • @MrShizz77 Even if this was the case, and we have no reason to think it is the case, they are drafting legislation and making laws that make it easier for cops to arrest people and throw them in jail to make a buck. Incarceration rates in the U.S have quadrupled since 1970, but do you really think the crime rate has followed that trend? Hardly. If anything, based on the population alone incarceration rates should have gone up by only 50% not 400%. Private prisons are bad mkay?

  • @crackerkiller89 I understand all that, but that has nothing to do with my statement. I said that most private prisons treat the inmates better then state run facilities. Some jails and prisons are so old they are a hazard to the inmates safety and the guards, but the private prisons arenew and high tech and allow inmates more opportunities for education and job skills where as the states just through them overpacked cells and say see ya on your next stay.

  • private prisons? WTF dude?!what kind of imbecile vote for that... are you retarded? seriously!

  • @xbuster17 i don't like the idea of private prisons either but the states have given up on rehabilitating inmates and just wait for them to come back to jail. but most of the private prisons offer classes and degrees. they have classes that teach life and job skills to help guys not go back to jail. prisons have been going private for years. I speak from my own knowledge and I'm smarter then you, so between the two of us you would be the RETARDED one. loser

  • @MrShizz77 yeah right you must be a u.s. citizen to blindly consider yourself smarter than someone you don't know and immediately call them retarded in capital letters. bravo. i don't think you're smart at all sir if you don't understand the cons of private prisons. but who cares right? every fucking piece of that corporation you proudly call "America!" is private and you are just a slave within their land. bow to thy king!... pfft grow up kiddie...stop playing war video games k? .peace

  • @xbuster17 look I don't like the fact that they can make money of the cons, but the state makes money off of them and do nothing to help the inmates better themselves. So its a trade let the state make money and keep the return rate high or let them go to a private prison and get an education to better themselves and actually be able to contribute to society. You not being a USA citizen makes you blind to the way our prison system works. You can hate america all ya want everyone does

  • @xbuster17 everybody hates America until you need our help. Most of you are just jealous and if I lived in some of your countries I'd be jealous, too. we have forest and beaches and green grass, plenty of clean water, lots of exciting things to do. our women are sexy and our cocks are big

  • @MrShizz77 lol so your saying that other countries dont have grass or clean water, or forests? but access to youtube? n i dont recall anyone asking for americas help ately.... you guys just kinda let your selves into other countries, shoot brown people, and then leave.

  • @esc4pethef4te almost anybody living anywhere has access to youtube no grass required....Lately? so you just forget about all the times in the past? its only lately. I think alot of countries citizens do not like what their government does and if you watch the news you know that americans are getting fed up with the things the government does and wants change.

  • @esc4pethef4te Ps you most likely are an american who likes to hate on himself because you live in your grandmas basement and steal money from her purse to buy porn and lotion

  • @MrShizz77 nah you got it all wrong. you're running out of forests, most women are fat there, green grass? yeah i envy you lot's for that... and no one is asking for help from them really, it's all shadowy deeds and bombs...and your cock is most likely regular like most dudes all round the world. btw, i live in argentina, sexiest women ever( or so they say) and an amazing variety of landscapes too.. in conclusion, you're a brainwashed idiot =) c ya , one love

  • If the NWO is looking to solve population control, they can just ship all the prisoners, from every prison on Earth to the Alien salt and gold mines. Other prisoners can be sent as cannon fodder towards the intergalactic war. Those that are not fit for these purposes can be used for experimentation, breeding stock, spare body parts, fertilizer and food.

  • @ricogoldstar wait till you get caught speeding and get thrown in jail

  • @ajustice4all Not gonna happen. One, I don;t speed to the excess amount that would land me in jail. Two, Im a former Deputy Sheriff of 15 yrs. and I currently work in a capacity that I do not discuss. I ain't gettin a ticket or goin to jail, I can tell ya that much.

  • @ricogoldstar of course you wont go to jail because you are all corrupt and would just cover your crimes up or pin it on a poor black guy

  • @MrShizz77 Now common! That ain't fair. I was actually a very honest and decent Deputy, and I even gave the inmates their common courtesy, and respect, and I treated them like men. Only when someone was violating the Law or acting ignorant did I ever have to give some criminal the smack down.

  • Out of the whole bunch this is one of the most shocking videos from howstuffworks

  • Who give's a fuck for prisoners?

  • @Monty55581 the fact that they are being profited from as if they were a commodity or energy source. they are still humans just like us, no one deserves to be treated as property

  • @Monty55581 u say that until u become one, and NDAA ensures that u will be one very soon

  • @Monty55581 How fucking ignorant are you? You DO realize that about a third of all prisoners are in for a marijuana-related charge right? Why is smoking marijuana considered a crime when it hurts no one? And with that said, are you saying you don't care about people who are incarcerated for non-violent "crimes?" Are you saying you dont care about the people who get a SHIT TON of time for crimes that should not net people that much prison time (name any crime and this is true)?

  • What they dont want you to know is who exactly is profiting off of the prisons?

  • @PsycheJones012 /watch?v=szNLMtgI7hU

  • Comment removed

  • what do you expect it is america they eat their own for a dollar

  • Here's where it gets REALLY crazy. These companies survey black communities and take count of how many young black men there are in high school, then toss the number into a formula to decide how many new prison cells they will need for the upcoming years. This is 100% fact.

  • @shamz0rz I think its time we bring the government to its knees..

  • @shamz0rz that is horrifying

  • very interesting....this is sad, but its genius, no doubt. I guess everyone wants a part of the money machine. I sure do, but not at the expense of others.

  • Yup! Fact in it's truest form.

  • Its all about the money!

  • The idea of private prisons is unsettling. 

  • Tweeted.

  • This is a form of human sacrifice. Justice will come, (eventually).

  • This series should be named "What You Need To Know".

  • This is the real reason why the government will never legalize Marijuana.

  • @Se7enBeatleofDoom This is EXACTLY why. If they did legalize it, a THIRD of the prisoners in the U.S would be freed. A whole THIRD. The private prison companies definitely do NOT want that. That is a lot of money lost. I think its time for a violent revolution cause its becoming more and more painfully obvious that a peaceful one will not work.

  • Did your voice change?

  • America lost it's way morally because it's no longer aware of where the excuses stop & the compulsive psychotic lying begins & in that it's become like the old whore in the bible myth who wanders around the town playing her flute to seek out new customers.

    She can't quite get it that she's been in the game too long & isn't beautiful anymore as her whole reputation was once said to be based on truth justice & the American way & now her people have no power keft to make their leaders stop lying.

  • @spacelizardlaw Which country do you choose to live in, btw?

  • ive been telling this to people for years

  • Bullshit u smartass

  • Most of this in NOT conspiracy. Its blatant fact. "The Invisible hand of the market" look it up & learn how twisted the 'logic' of economics actually is. 

  • @WolvesWest The invisible hand will come under ur undies and start playing with ur balls...mmmmmmmmmmm nice...loool

  • Well this explains why CEO's and politicians get off the hook.

  • @bajutsu And celebrities.

  • "land of the free"

  • Here is where it gets crazy!

  • @Animale092 i always knew it !
