"More Prisoners = More Profit"

Fixed expenses - constant: facility, staff, guards, utilities
Variable expenses - small: food (about $2 per day per prisoner)

As with a hotel,
the business incentive is to fill all the rooms.
There is little incentive to rehabilitate future "customers"
who may commit crimes and come back in the future.

Outsourcing jails to private corporations - a growing field and lucrative investment

CCA is a lobbyist for "get tough on crime" policies
that encourage maximum use of its jails, to put people
in even for minor misdemeanors and first time offenses.

CCA has no financial incentive to correct
or rehabilitate prisoners.  They have "for show"
computer training classrooms, but rarely allow the
inmates to use them, except for photo opportunities.
