Privatization: Profit > People

Privatization is a hideous monster that cannot be effectively regulated. Where is the national media on private prisons, probations, etc? It's ready made for TV- investor meetings talking about growth models for the future (more arrests), widespread sexual abuse, indicted judges involved in prisoner for pay schemes, people being jailed because they can't afford to pay fines...is there something I'm missing? What could it be about this demoralized population of people that the national media isn't cutting up into slick advertisements for local news media tragedy porn outlets?

Oh yeah. They're mostly black and Hispanic.
