    But people definitely shouldn’t be profiting from imprisonment, and the conditions should be humane.

    I have a friend who is a plumber and most of his work is from jails.

      Good point- my thought was poorly worded. I meant that if people with lots of money are making more money by putting people in prison, then they will find ways to ensure people keep being put into prison.

      Imprisoning people shouldn’t in and of itself be profitable since then imprisoning people is incentivized.

      Your friend’s work goes towards making prisons more humane, I’m in favour of him and you can tell him so :)
