Imagine a land where the capitalist ideal is stretched so far, prisoners sue for and win the right to choose which for-profit private prison they will go to.
Where penitentiary placement representatives do outreach marketing to convicted individuals while they wait between conviction and sentencing, courting them with pamphlets and promises, going into broad generalities about their prison’s social environment, pod occupancy, commissary rates, work release programs, yard amenities, all in a push to get the highest-paying criminals for a larger cut of the state’s money.
Like a college admissions outreach team, but for criminal justice.
Wouldn’t that be something?
