...that they'll keep their facilities at least 90% full at all times.

CCA stands for "Corrections Corporations of America", btw

Theres no unions in prisons, and average salary is 17 cents per hour

Maybe that is a reason for

Prison guard union is a powerful entity in local and state politics.

"The prison industry complex is one of the fastest-growing industries in the United States and its investors are on Wall Street. "This multimillion-dollar industry has its own trade exhibitions, conventions, websites, and mail-order/Internet catalogs. It also has direct advertising campaigns, architecture companies, construction companies, investment houses on Wall Street, plumbing supply companies, food supply companies, armed security, and padded cells in a large variety of colors."

I like the bold part grin
