    While private prisons are abhorrent and unconscionable, they aren’t even close to the root cause of our prison problem. Hint: it’s systemic racism and our militarized police culture.

    Louisiana, the #1 on the list supposedly had 0 private prison inmates in 2021. Blaming private prisons at this point almost feels like deflecting from the real issues.
