building jails is a great business in America :(

  Why is that? I can't understand why you'd need to pay $50k to house a convicted criminal where does all the money go - anyone got a breakdown of expenses? If you allow private corp to build the prison you're always going to get screwed, they can increase the cost per capita each year just short of the amount where it will be worth using another supplier or building your own. That's a big yearly increase.
