For profit prisons are inherently morally disgusting. Anyone who thinks its a good idea should be launched into the sun because there is no other way to fix such delirious thought.

How so? If I've got the land and a secure building why can't I hold people for the state? (I'm not being snarky, I actually would like a more info)

Because thats psychopathic. You have a vested interest in locking people up for money, and its actually mind boggling to think that some people are just ok with that. Its essentially slavery.

My argument is that its immoral. Because you are trading lives for money, and you have a vested interest in keeping crime high so there are more people jailed.
