America: Land of the free LOLOLOLOL

I think it opened another 'Pandora's Box' when incarceration became an 'industry'. Unfortunately, incarceration is a business now. It's brilliant. Now 'poor people' can be a resource to be exploited rather than a money pit. Here's how it happens.
John Doe works hard to barely scrape by. He does something dumb and goes to jail. The jail gets money from the feds for holding him. John is also charged 'rent' for the time he is in. John buys stuff from the snack wagon because his friends put money on his books. John gets fined, and can't pay because he's broke, so he goes right back in jail, where they fleece him some more. John's debt to society becomes larger because he cannot pay his debt to society. They get free labor from John while he is in, and they fleece every spare dime that John has thus ensuring his returning to jail when he can't pay what they demand from him. Also, while he is in, John learns all kinds of new ways to get deeper in trouble with the law. For a lot of the 'working poor', the revolving door of incarceration becomes the pattern of their lives because it's a self perpetuating problem. John is like a 'milk cow' for the independent incarceration entrepreneurs . It's a win win for everyone but John and the tax payers who didn't buy stock in the incarceration business.
