It should be said that basically all prisons and jails that are State run have for-profit parts. The food, phone calls, medical care, and even visitations are monetized by corporations with no real oversight or accountability.
One of the most destructive institutions in our nation is the for-profit prison system. Corporations lining their pockets by keeping people in prison and punishing them financially for being there. Lining the pockets of elected reps to do it.
This has to stop.

Gen Z is spending more on essentials than previous generations, yet their wages aren't keeping up.
It's no wonder they aren't "spending like retailers need them to."
When 70% of the economy depends on consumer spending, people need money to spend. It's as simple as that.
