LearnOutLoud.com Review
This documentary explores the prison industrial complex which has become a $50 billion-a-year industry. It examines the tough laws which the corrections industry lobbies for. It also looks at asset forfeiture by cops in the case of drug arrests and how it leads to practices which seek to maximize seized money through increasing drug arrests. And finally it looks at the powerful California's Prison Guards union which lobbies for stiff penalties such as California's Three Strikes laws.
