Starved in Jail: Why are incarcerated people dying from lack of food or water, even as private companies are paid millions for their care?

Because they know they can get away with it and there will be no real consequences, that’s why.

No spend money only receive money!

Because the money they're paid isn't so they can provide for the prisoners in their care...

It's so they're ok running a corrupt system that we've known for decades isn't actually fixing anything.

whoever thought private prisons are a good idea needs to die painfully, and so does everyone who helped create them

How do you think they keep those millions? Certainly not by spending money.

Do people really need an entire article to answer the question in the headline?

Money. The answer is always money.

The money they don't spend goes into the personal bank accounts of the prison admins
