The idea is to fill the corporate jails with very cool, easy going people, rather than criminals. Why you may ask? Ok, I answer, because they make better slave workers hired out of the corporate owned jails to places like Liberty Travel and Honda at 2.30 an hour (which the inmates get .32cents which 20cents goes for room and board). You dont want killers answering the phone when you call for a trip to Bali do you? And certainly you dont want to train big apes to keep killers and real criminals in line, better to have some easy laid back freaks. As they all will tell you, it is easier to get weed in jail than out sometimes.

By the way, this US corporate model of incarceration is now part of the British system and working its way through the EU. Funny enough, it is an US based prision company doing it. Truth makes fiction seem tame.
