Keeping prisons operating just to have salve labor.

And the sates pay them with the HOPE they will fill the beds.

I wonder if that leads to dirty business from the judges through the cops?  

Nah....not here.  

I recall Steve Jobs (or maybe it was Tim Cook) making a similar argument when people wanted iPhones made in the US vs overseas.
He said having the phones made with much cheaper overseas labor costs is why the cost wasn't (way) higher for consumers.
So if people wanted those labor jobs to be in the US, the cost of phones was going to rise (a lot).
