Summary
Dominated by a handful of American-based corporations, the business of private prisons has become one of the most volatile and powerful industries in the United States, thriving from its contracts with state governments to alleviate the massive overcrowding among prison populations. This program contrasts the glitzy commercial arena of the private-prison industry, focusing on major player and billionaire George Wackenhut's corporation, with the world of the inmates, exposing a recession-proof business where money is made out of the deprivation of liberty.
