A short transcript excerpt from a YouTube clip titled "The Prison Industry's Dark Secret - Shaka Senghor #jre #shorts" discussing the prison system as an industry. The speaker condemns privatized prisons and describes them as profit-driven ("they want more people in there because that's how they make money"), highlights that prison guard unions lobby to keep drug laws to maintain incarceration rates, and uses an analogy comparing people farming to chicken farming to emphasize the moral wrong of profiting from incarceration.

The fact that prison is an industry is also insane. The fact that privatized prisons are an industry. When I found out that prison guard unions lobby to keep drug laws on the books. Yeah. I remember that moment. The moment I found that, I was like, that is evil. Yeah. You're using people as, like, batteries to generate money. Absolutely. Private prisons are. They want more people in there because that's how they make money. Yeah. It's like if you're a chicken farmer, you want more chickens, right? Yeah. Right. If you're a people farmer, you're essentially a people farmer, which is evil. Absolutely.
