"In the late nineteenth century, coal companies wished to keep their skilled prison laborers for as long as they could, leading to denials of “short time”. Today, a slightly different economic incentive can lead to similar consequences. CCA [Corrections Corporation of America] is paid per prisoner. If the supply dries up, or too many are released too early, their profits are affected… Longer prison terms mean greater profits, but the larger point is that the profit motive promotes the expansion of imprisonment."
