I don’t know of a single argument that can’t be dismantled with “right, and people have never been found to cheat the system?”… Is judges colluding with prison

I don’t know of a single argument that can’t be dismantled with “right, and people have never been found to cheat the system?”… Is judges colluding with prison operators a frequent and normal occurrence? The US prison system is bad, but to my knowledge these things are the exception.

It's not about people cheating the system. It's about predicting what will happen under a given system of incentives.

It is certainly not unheard of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kids_for_cash_scandal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kids_for_cash_scandal

depends, are you looking at brazen bribery or collusion? or some 'free speech' activities like campaign contributions?

Frequent not. But judicial deference to prosecutors is, and offering/acceptance of plea bargains with terrible terms is as well. And prosecutors bring bullshit cases all the time, for a variety of reasons. I have first hand experience of this as a (luckily, successful) defendant.
