Private Prisons: Where Prisoners Become Profit

I'm a lawyer in Louisiana, and there could be an entire book on the state of privately owned prisons here ... really, more like an encyclopedia series of the prisons for profits here ... one small example, in East Carroll Parish, there's a prison there that also operates as the local jail. People from Baton Rouge get sent up there when the jail in Baton Rouge overflows. Because the women's wing only functions as a local jail and holding facility for other parish jails, it isn't under Department of Corrections rules. There are times when they've gone without power or running water for days and the food is literally delivered in crates marked FDA condemned. Because the DOC rules don't apply to them, they aren't required to have a back up generator, nor are they required to feed anything nutritious ... people would come back from there malnourished because unless their families sent them money, they were SOL on food. Oh, and they don't even provide basic necessities like underwear or bras. If you can't buy those, you're also SOL. its absolutely disgusting...and these are people who haven't even been convicted of anything yet. Some of them are even sent there for two to three months for missing court on a speeding ticket. Like I said...a whole series could be written about the state of things here, but the bottom line is no one really cares. At least not enough to make a difference.

@@kristinaedgar8265 Did you miss how prisons fired all of the guards because they were more concerned with cutting costs? You think the selfish cost-cutting outlook only extended to the inmates? No. Places like this are worried about money and that's it. No matter what the effect on the people around them- their staff or inmates alike, they are just pawns. This has not changed. For profit does not mean pay increase for anyone but the ones in charge.

[@wutheringheightspdf]

Bailey, it means so much that you use your platform to talk about important topics. Please consider looking into the troubled teen industry--many residential centers and 'schools' claim to be nonprofits yet their administrators mysteriously make upwards of $500k/year.

[@fefreaak9369]

The prison story really reminded me of a specific thing that Belgium (specifically Brussels had) There was a time here (1958 so not even long ago!?) where you could go to a "Zoo" where they kept POC in cages like they were animals that you could feed bananas and pet their heads (It was called Expo 58). It would be really nice if you did a Dark History episode on Belgium and also their part in the Genocide of Congo, it is considered one of the "biggest" genocides in our history with over 3 Million deaths and estimated over 10 million victims overall yet it's a genocide that not many people know off. Having a genocide in our history that happened so recently that is not spoken about to this day makes my heart hurt and it would be amazing to hear you cover the story because it's so much to unpack.

I always watch every dark history episode because I love learning legitimate history, but today!!! I used this episode to write a discussion on my college course! As soon as I saw civil rights and criminals on the question my mind immediately went to this episode. I have come full circle, thank you bailey, for making my 1am assignments tolerable.

[@knaomastaley]

Great episode. First of all, I wanna thank you for making it because it was a great summary of the history of private prisons which I definitely need. Also, your podcast wizards have done something and I can now hear you while I’m driving in my car and it’s awesome. Thanks for everything you do to make dark history accessible to all sorts of folks!

[@eveofeloquence3850]

This is amazing! I'm glad someone is talking about this. While I haven't been to a prison, I was convicted by the feds on a very questionable case where I was ordered to repay some money I'd received. Long story short, they found an equally bunk way to violate my probation and threaten me with 25 years in prison or to accept being on house arrest. Mind you I had no criminal history whatsoever besides this white collar situation that could have been seen as utter BS but I digress... Anyway. The monitor on my ankle started off a storm of physical ailments including rashes all over my body, swollen joints, burning blisters inside my mouth and even on my scalp. But they assured me the device was completely safe. I struggled through that for a year where I wasn't even allowed to step foot out my front door if it wasn't for work or medical or religious services. Me. A Grandma with two college degrees and no history of crimes, addictions or anything nefarious. Anyway, after I was done with all of that debocle I started researching the devices and of course found out that they have caused major health issues for many people but the company that makes them pays billions in lobbying to get permission to get these things on as many people as possible. Basically the devices are owned by private prison companies who push to get prisoners on house arrest because it's a bigger money maker. Turns out the courts have ordered they're a violation of civil rights so no judge will order them BUT if you agree to waive a hearing (because you've been threatened with 25 years) then it's hunky dory. The feds are criminals as well as the DOJ. They're worse than street thugs.
