The motivation
for incarcerating people is to stop crime on the streets that people are
committing. I feel the system is doing that but also incarcerating people and
putting them in the joint because the system makes money off one person. So the
more people entering the system the more the system is getting.
Racial caste
System means who’s in high more priority and who is on the bottom of the totem
pole. In the prison system the people of color are considered second class status
compared to the whites. People of color are labeled criminals even though they haven’t
committed a crime they are classified and labeled in. Most people of color such
as blacks and Latinos come from communities that lack education, poverty, and don’t
offer a lot of opportunities. The population in the prison system there are
more colored people being locked up than whites because the lack of resources
that the colored people have and police officers patrol in communities that
have blacks or Latinos in and have the high crime rate.
The industrial
part of PIC is that they make supply such as furniture and distribute it to the
outside world when the inmates make them. The PIC is a private company or
business that hire inside the prison system and they pay them to make the
supplies. Prison-Industrial Complex means it’s a private prison that is a
company or business that makes supply goods, which hire in the prison the
inmate that committed a minor crime. They would hire the inmates and pay them
less than hire anyone else that they have to pay minimum wage. I don’t agree to
this because they are locked up for a reason and that they shouldn’t get paid
or have so much freedom in the prisons. Even though they are behind bars and
they are limited to things they still have so much priority in there that they shouldn’t.
I think the PIC method is beneficial in some cases. By the prisoners getting paid they're able to buy the limited necessities from other inmates such as toilet tissue,cigarettes and so on. Like the saying goes, "if you can do the crime then you can do the time". But the for the people who are falsely accused and incarcerated...justice may not ever be achieved.

I agree with both of you, in some cases the PIC is beneficial due to the saftey of others but it can be motified a bit. People are in there for crimes and in doing so are getting more benifits than people who are sane.
