The prison industrial complex is where private owned prisons will get budgets based on how many inmates they get. These prisons cut corners, and try scrape as much profits as possible, and then use this money to lobby and campaign for judges and politicians that are tougher on crime and will pass laws to give them more inmates, thus giving them a bigger budget. And so the cycle continues.

The word "threatens" in the headline is what makes it really out of place.

The Netherlands literally had this problem a couple years ago, and guess what they did? Close the prisons like a normal country would.
