This report is a trifecta of corrupted capitalism. It starts with the latest in the Prison Privatization trend, followed by the New American Slavery trend. In every way that one can measure these prison companies they consistently show what I can only characterize as depravity.

Then it moves on to the corruption of real estate investment trusts (REIT), the latest in the Deregulation trend.
