One Thousand One Hundred and Twelve Chopped Off to Feed the Dog

To be honest, Xiao Feng didn't know much about the US judicial system before investigating Percy.

He only knows that the crime rate in the United States is high, and the prison rate is the highest in the world.

But he really didn't know that even the prisons in the United States are privately owned.

And the private prison industry alone has an annual net profit of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars.

This is a big business with an "per prisoner" of more than 60,000 US dollars per year.

There are various juvenile institutions for juveniles in the United States, but they are called behavior correction centers, and they mainly hold juvenile prisoners.

There are also various prisons dedicated to detaining heavy prisoners, and on the contrary, there are light prisons dedicated to detaining children of wealthy families or white-collar workers.

And those light prisons are not so much prisons as resorts.

In prison, as long as you pay, you can live in suites of different classes.

Being in prison is really no different from going on vacation.

Moreover, those who can do prison business in the United States are not ordinary people, because this requires a permit issued by the federal government.

Ordinary people cannot obtain this permission.

So in the field of private prisons, there are only a few predators.

And why is it so difficult to get a federal license to enter this business?

It's all because of doing this business, which is a steady profit without loss, and a huge profit, so the advanced predators naturally want to prevent the latecomers from taking their share of the pie.

Before investigating, Xiao Feng didn't dare to imagine that running a private prison could be so easy to make money.

And they dared to sign a contract with the federation full of overlord clauses, yes, you read that right.

All they offered to the Federation were overlord clauses.

The first of these is that the government must guarantee the occupancy rate of private prisons, and according to the contract signed between the federal government and these private prisons in 2011.

The occupancy rate of these private prisons is set at 90%!

Can you imagine? Opening a prison is more profitable than opening a hotel.

There is still an off-peak season for opening a hotel, and various natural and man-made disasters or fierce competition may lead to insufficient occupancy.

Even the most gimmicky hotels in Las Vegas can't guarantee their occupancy rate, which remains at 90% all year round.

But prison will do!

To open a private prison, you don't have to worry about low and peak seasons, and you don't have to do all kinds of marketing.

Anyway, the federal government will guarantee the occupancy rate of your prison.

This is the main reason why the United States will become the country with the most criminals in the world.

They hold 25% of the prisoners in the world, all because of these overlord clauses!

Because if the occupancy rate cannot be guaranteed to exceed 90%, the federal government will lose money!

And the second overlord clause is that even if the judge sent those criminals to private prisons.

But this prison is not anyone who wants to come in. For example, criminals with various diseases are not accepted in private prisons.

There are also heavy prisoners, such as serial murderers or gangsters, such heavy prisoners are not accepted in private prisons.

When Xiao Feng saw this article, his heart was full of ten thousand muddy horses galloping past.

Is this still a prison? How can you be so picky?

And the third overlord clause is even more extreme.

That is, if private prisons fail to operate well and close down, the government must back up the prison and unconditionally buy back the prison...

Will many people feel speechless after seeing this clause?

So is Xiao Feng!

When he saw the terms of these investigations, he was really moved.

Damn it, is there any more profitable business than this in the whole world?

It's really hard to imagine that the US government, which is extremely tough on the outside world and always swings a big stick, would actually sign such a contract with a domestic private owner?

These terms all sound fantastic.

But what is even more mysterious is that the US government really signed it.

This shit...

And don't think that these private prisons just hold prisoners and live on state subsidies.

As long as the private prisons are opened and prisoners are sent in continuously, they can start factories.

Yes, this is a slave factory.

From screws to circuit boards, there is nothing they cannot produce.

Their major clients range from IBM, to Microsoft, Boeing, and even McDonald's.

Prisoners have to work under guard for six hours every day before they can eat.

The weekly salary is only twenty dollars.

And most of the profits they created were naturally taken away by the prison.

And the prison gives such behavior, and it is also called to help prisoners correct their behavior, learn new production skills, so that they can return to society correctly in the future...

And as profitable businesses, they don't pay taxes.

Yes, as business owners who run prisons, although they are guarding prisoners, their work is not easy, and many people will get psychological trauma.

Because many punishment methods for prisoners are inhumane, and as executors, they will have psychological obstacles after a long time.

So they use these conditions to negotiate with the government, and finally let the government give them tax exemptions, or they have to reduce taxes.

And the CCA company owned by Pesci's brother is even more powerful.

A real estate trust fund was directly established, and in the end, all the income from the prison chain he operated was transferred to the trust.

Then only do a little bit of charity, and cut off a large part of the tax.

In the end, the annual income is several billion, but only 3.5% of the tax is paid, and the other 96.5% is all in the pockets of major shareholders.

Xiao Feng was shocked when he saw Owen's investigation report.

There is such a profitable business in this world?

This fucker is simply making money!

There is no need to do anything every year, just sit at home and count the money.

And there is almost no risk, and it is even more expensive than the Liangyang Railway he built.

It's no wonder that this Pesci's family was nothing more than an ordinary civilian family in Nashville, Tennessee.

But since she entered the judicial system, this ordinary family has leaped into the dragon's gate in one fell swoop.

In just twenty years, he became a wealthy upstart in Tennessee.

Especially during the period when Pesci became the Attorney General, it was only a few years.

The CCA prison opened by her younger brother quickly expanded its business across the country.

Across the country, more than 30 prisons have been opened.

And in every state, Pesci installed some stupid judges.

These judges are very fast in juvenile, and Latino, and black cases.

One case can be closed in almost two or three minutes, and the final destination of those prisoners.

Most of them went to the correction centers and prisons under the CCA!

In the past four years alone, their prison occupancy rate has reached 99%, and the subsidies they received from the state alone have exceeded two billion.

This is not counting the money they earned by letting those prisoners produce various materials.

For example, CCA's prison in Indiana has undertaken many orders from the Department of Defense.

Military helmets, body armor, bullet chains, and ID cards are almost all produced by this prison.

The total value of these orders is as high as 1.8 billion US dollars.

And their prison in Seattle, which produces 30% of IBM's headphones, speakers, and microphones.

When these data were written item by item and announced in front of Pesci.

Ms. Pesci, who was so proud before, is completely stupid now.

She really didn't expect that her family hid such a deep secret, and it was picked up by this guy so quickly.

And it's so thorough...

To be honest, prison management in the United States has always been a relatively taboo topic.

Reporters and media in the United States also know that this involves many bigwigs and the judiciary, so they never dare to investigate or write scribbles easily.

Because it really annoyed the judiciary, they stared at you every day and threw it in for you sooner or later.

These private prison owners are long-term and most important donors to the American Communist Party.

As for the members of the **** committee, they are all political leaders who can influence Congress and the state assemblies.

So no reporter, or the media, dare to poke their black den.

Therefore, Pesci always felt that his business was secretive, safe, and could be operated for a long time.

Unexpectedly, this time someone turned upside down.

At this time, she had completely lost her previous aloof attitude, and instead looked profusely sweating.

She turned her head to look at Xiao Feng: "What do you want?"

"Hehe, I'm not used to looking up and talking to people."

Xiao Feng didn't like her at all, aren't you proud?

You wanted to humiliate me before? Then don't blame me this time, I will humiliate you ten times over!

Pesci immediately leaned down and sat down on the sofa opposite Xiao Feng.

But her butt just touched the sofa cushion, and Xiao Feng who was opposite said with a sneer.

"Did I ask you to sit down?"

"U Made FUK..."

Pesci was completely furious, no one had dared to humiliate her like this before.

But she was only halfway cursing when Xiao Feng, who was opposite him, splashed a glass of wine on her face, then raised his hand and slapped her.

"You stinky bitch, shut your stinky mouth for me. I let you talk today, so you can talk."

"Otherwise, believe it or not, I'll chop you up and make dog food!"

Pesci was blinded by Xiao Feng's slap in the face. She never thought that she, the majestic Attorney General, would be slapped by a single person.

And she is Chinese, the person of color she despises the most.

Before she came back to her senses, Xiao Feng slapped her face, which woke her up.

"Tell me, if I throw out these news tomorrow, will the backer behind you save you?"

"Will your partners save you? I'm afraid they all hope that you will never come back after you disappear..."
