It's an industry here. Prisons are being privatized and run for profit.

A cop can frame 40 people, have them sent to jail and, when found out the cop receives probation!? I don't think the people in authority in this country are even trying to hide their injustice anymore.

What she said about prisoners being shipped to Oklahoma is true. The conditions are deplorable! And OK has one of the highest incarceration rates (for their own population) in the country.
