• To start off prison isn’t really a place for punishment, it is a place for people to make money. The more prisoners the more money that the prison got, which meant more money in their pockets. You can see that today, prison is never really a place for punishment. Just a place to make money. Throughout America's history everything is about business and making money. America isn’t a so-called country anymore, it is now a business. We work for the business and pay the business with our work. The United States is built off of capitalism, one of the best systems in the world. This system benefits not one person but all people benefit from it. Without it there would be no drive and no money and no America.
