Because they know they can get away with it and there will be no real consequences, that’s why.
No spend money only receive money!
Because people are evil.
- Some people are. In spite of all the terrible news I read everyday I still think most of us are good most of the time, we're all just being subjugated by the worst of our species.
  
  But the terrible people bubble up to the top
whoever thought private prisons are a good idea needs to die painfully, and so does everyone who helped create them
How do you think they keep those millions? Certainly not by spending money.
Do people really need an entire article to answer the question in the headline?

Money. The answer is always money.
How is a company supposed to make money off someone that's incarcerated? They don't have much disposable income...
- Our taxes pay to keep them in there.
  
  Prisons are always paid for by taxes. The difference is that in America someone is profiting from that...
