Besides, prisons don't send people to prison. The government does.

Because there's a new branch for parole that makes even more money?

True story:

Friend of mine was hired as a prison guard paid by a private company to work in a county jail.

Jail never paid guard company.

Guard company never paid guards.

This. Entire communities' economies rest on prisons in some places.

Like... if someone isnt an inmate anymore it means one of two things:

1) Hes free.

2) He's in parole, supervised by a parole officer, with routine checkups and a lot of limitations.

This is just speculation, but, maybe there's a way that prisons are making more money for having people in parole than in prison... i mean, after all, having an inmate means you have to give them food and other basic things that actually cost money.

so instead of paying for their food they get to collect money from them?

all while still having them under control and supervision?

It does seem like they could make more money using them for slave labor than collecting fees every month.
