      Most prisons in the US are actually not privatized, although this is a bit of technicality as government-run prisons tend to have privatized a lot of their functions, like “catering” (lol) and guards etc.

      As rural hospitals shut down (due to lack of federal funding) they are being BOUGHT up by private corporations and LEASED back to the federal government (federal funding).

      It’s a LOT more money and it’s NOT going to the hospital.
