They know. But it's better for them for crime to be up and police to be fat, so they can run on being hard on crime, and police works for the rich instead of the people.

    Prison labor is essentially legalized slavery so there is incentive to keep poor people incarcerated. There's a reason why the US is the most incarcerated nation in the world.

    i think the situation wouldn't be as bad if there weren't also for-profit prisons that have an additional incentive to exploit people who are incarcerated. all prisons should be nonprofit. (what a weird thing to say out loud)
