An exposé by the New Orleans Times-Picayune found that Louisiana incarcerates more people per capita than any other state or country in the world.
One out of every 86 adults is behind bars, which is nearly double the U.S. average.
Who said that private industry isn't more efficient and productive than government industry? But does this pass the smell test?
“A majority of Louisiana inmates are housed in for-profit facilities, which must be supplied with a constant influx of human beings or a $182 million industry will go bankrupt.”
“A good portion of Louisiana law enforcement is financed with dollars legally skimmed off the top of prison operations,” Chang reported.
This is a brew for corruption and tyranny.
