Who are the prison profiteers that are bankrupting us and negatively affecting every Californian?

For-profit-contract-bed-privatized-corporation prisons that profit not from reforming people, but when the recidivism rate goes up;

District attorneys and prosecutors who are promoted for winning cases and harsh sentences at any cost (many states do not have "open policy" and prosecutors can legally withhold evidence that shows the accused is not guilty);

Old school, fear-mongering politicians hocking tough on crime in hopes of votes;

Prison employee unions;

Parole department in California where everyone released is on parole;

Unreasonably harsh sentences and the three strikes law that sends people to prison for 25+ years over petty crimes such as stealing a pizza;

The bail bond industry that benefits from unnecessary criminal justice practices that increase incarceration;

Rigged line-ups that get faulty convictions and promotions;

Increased incarceration due to requirement of checking prior-arrest/conviction boxes on employment, government, and rental applications for those who have been crime-free for years. It makes it harder to stay out of prison (BAN THE BOX);

Serving prisoners high calorie, high carb meals that increase health problems and pay to medical institutions;

Private companies that raise heck when prisons contract to do labor that increases prisoner self esteem and provides skills training;

The list goes on…
