The Prison Industrial Complex Update

What the American incarceration system looks like and who profits from it

The Scale

The American incarceration system: approximately 2.1 million people incarcerated in federal and state prisons and local jails, representing the highest incarceration rate in the world at approximately 630 per 100,000 population. The scale is the accountability baseline from which the specific dimensions of the system -- the racial disparity, the private prison industry, and the recidivism that the system produces rather than reduces -- are assessed.

The Private Industry

The private prison industry: the GEO Group and CoreCivic operate approximately 150,000 prison and detention beds under government contracts. The private prison industry profit model depends on high occupancy rates in the facilities the industry operates. The specific incentive that high occupancy rates create for the lobbying of the sentencing policies that produce high occupancy is the accountability journalism of the private prison industry.
