And because these companies want profit, they choose criminals that will be cheap to handle. The War on Drugs has played a large part in the private prisons' selection process, as it has made a shift towards incarcerating colored people significantly more frequently than whites. Private prisons also use the War on Drugs as an excuse to cage more disproportionately poorer people and colored people, which is threatening America's employment, housing, and stability.]]> 2018-01-03 00:19:14 UTC https://padlet.com/rquinlan333/koijuy45ensx/wish/218414838 rquinlan333 https://padlet.com/rquinlan333/koijuy45ensx/wish/218415480 "Petrella looked at nine states and found that in four of them — California, Georgia, Oklahoma and Texas — people of color are represented in private prisons at least ten percentage points greater than in state-run facilities. Because jailing individuals is a public cost, it is no surprise that U.S. and state governments have chosen to outsource in response to prison overcrowding. But this study brings up another point. Cutting costs and generating revenue at the expense of people of color is a tradition deeply woven in the fabric of American history."]]> 2018-01-03 00:33:58 UTC https://padlet.com/rquinlan333/koijuy45ensx/wish/218415480 The Color of Corporate Corrections (Using in Riley's Abib) rquinlan333 https://padlet.com/rquinlan333/koijuy45ensx/wish/218417014 2018-01-03 01:08:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rquinlan333/koijuy45ensx/wish/218417014 War on Drugs (Using in Riley's Abib) rquinlan333 https://padlet.com/rquinlan333/koijuy45ensx/wish/218417443 President Richard Nixon declared the national "War on Drugs" in the 1970s, causing American prison population to skyrocket.]]> 2018-01-03 01:17:14 UTC https://padlet.com/rquinlan333/koijuy45ensx/wish/218417443 "A SYSTEM DESIGNED BY THE RICH AND FOR THE RICH." rquinlan333 https://padlet.com/rquinlan333/koijuy45ensx/wish/218417942 They claim it is to save taxpayer dollars, but it doesn't mean that private prisons aren't harming others in the process.]]> 2018-01-03 01:25:52 UTC https://padlet.com/rquinlan333/koijuy45ensx/wish/218417942 "CLEARLY RELIES ON THE INCARCERATION OF AFRICAN AMERICAN AND LATINO PEOPLE FOR ITS SURVIVAL." rquinlan333 https://padlet.com/rquinlan333/koijuy45ensx/wish/218418468 2018-01-03 01:32:10 UTC https://padlet.com/rquinlan333/koijuy45ensx/wish/218418468 "PRIVATE PRISONS SEEK THE LEAST EXPENSIVE PRISONER TO GENERATE THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE PROFIT." rquinlan333 https://padlet.com/rquinlan333/koijuy45ensx/wish/218419065 2018-01-03 01:41:14 UTC https://padlet.com/rquinlan333/koijuy45ensx/wish/218419065 Private Prisons (In General) rquinlan333 https://padlet.com/rquinlan333/koijuy45ensx/wish/218419380 AKA For-profit prisons or contract prisons.

In order to make money as a private prison, they receive a stipend from the government. This money from the government can be paid in a multitude of different ways. It can be based on the size of the prison, based on a monthly or yearly set amount, or in most cases it is paid based on the number of prisoners that the prison houses."
