Private prisons are behind the criminalization of everything that in a civilized planet wouldn't be considered a criminal offense, like weed possession. They're just like hotels, with huge investments involved, and like hotels they need a constant influx of "customers" to keep the system working. The last thing a private prison system wants, along with everyone supporting them, is a reduction of crime rate.
