How comapnies make money off prisoners
August 4, 2009
Dr. Byron Price is a black scholar with a mission. His book, ‘Merchandizing Prisoners’ opens the door for a discussion on how the African American community is being financially pillaged by the prison industry. You may not know this, but private corporations earn money from inmate incarceration and have a direct financial incentive to house more. This is a problem, since unfocused profit maximization does not leave much room for prisoner rehabilitation. Dr. Price is one of the leading scholars in America, and he has taken it upon himself to help solve this problem.
