The machine is fueled by profits, idiot. Do you think your precious capitalist system will accept failure? No, it won't. It must have profits, by whatever means. So they lobby for stiffer sentences for bullshit crimes. Three strikes, etc. and they're guaranteed to have inmates for life.

For instance, they could hire the freelance faggot from Arkansas to spam his poison online, start widespread public riots, and then call in LE to load up the paddy wagons.
But the most important takeaway, boys and girls, is that there are no criminals, just misunderstood victims of the prison industry's greed. So we mustn't hold people responsible for their own actions just because they were unlucky enough to get swept up in the prison industry's profit-hungry dragnet.
Get it now, boys and girls?
