Chapter 1418: Prison Tycoon
Looking at Orin Snyder's gaze, Chen Geng smiled and said meaningfully: "Mr. Snyder, you must know that opening a prison is very profitable. ”
Orin Snyder's mouth grew in surprise!
In the United States, private people are allowed to open prisons?
For us living in a socialist country with a big government, this is simply unthinkable! Because in our view, prisons are actually part of the government structure and government power, and are also part of the violent institutions of the state, such as the police and the army.
But in fact, in the United States, private people are allowed to open prisons.
And this time is quite early, as early as the 18th century, there were some private prisons in the United States to manage prisoners, and by 1885, a total of 13 states in the United States began to rent prison inmates to private companies in the form of labor leases, but in 1905, then-President Theodore Roosevelt signed a law prohibiting the use of prison inmate labor, and prisons eventually gave way to state and federal governments.
But in the 80s, with the rampant activities of Columbia and other Chinese and American countries to make D and sell D, the United States, which is very close to Colombia, has become a sales market for drug P. At that time, the streets and alleys of the United States were semi-open D product sales, including Tennessee bibs close to Columbia, some D dealers even openly sold D products on the street, and with D products, shootouts and murders became commonplace, and the neighbors who may have laughed yesterday died on the streets the next day, and the whole Tennessee people were panicked.
In order to deal with the rapid deterioration of social order as soon as possible, the police in Tennessee have created the strictest law enforcement in the United States, to the extent that "Lao Tzu thinks you are a D peddler, so he will arrest you", it can be said that he will arrest the other party if he feels suspicious, and if he is caught, he will be locked up.
There is no place to lock people in the prison, but a considerable number of these people are drug F, and they must not let go of one, and the only way is to build a new prison as soon as possible, but the bureaucracy and procrastination in the United States are also notoriously known, and if you want to build a new one, you have to wait for almost 4 years just to apply, and when the application comes down, the prison is built, and you don't even think about it for seven or eight years, but after seven or eight years, the daylilies are cold.
In this situation, Tom, then the Republican chairman of Tennessee, with his friends Doctor Krones and Don Heto, came up with a good idea: introduce commercialization!
To put it simply, it is to return to the "privatization of prisons", so that not only can solve the problem of insufficient use in prisons, but also make money.
Well, this is the CCA, the largest private prison in the United States that is now publicly available.
Yes, prisons can be private. And it can also operate to the market, and that's how Americans can play.
As for how you can make money by opening a prison, hehe......
Do you need to ask about this, what is in prison?
O prisoner!
As long as you put on a hat of "learning life skills" and let the prisoner work, and use the salary?!
The prisoner in the CCA has a monthly salary of $18!
You heard it right, it's not an hourly wage, it's not a daily wage, it's a monthly wage!
What's the difference between these inmates and free labor in a private prison where it costs money to buy even a water cup, or a small TV, and the TV has no sound, and you need to pay for a headset to use it? If free labor doesn't make money, then it's really unreasonable.
If these prisoners are "rented" out again, it will be even more profitable!
As the governor of Michigan, Olin Snyder certainly knew this, and when he heard Chen Geng suddenly mention a private prison, his heart was very excited: a private prison that can hold 5,000 people can make a net profit of at least 70 million US dollars a year.
Orin Snyder, who was originally a little unhappy with Chen Geng's "frankness", immediately lowered his voice after coming back to his senses: "Fernandez, we are friends, so we can be frank......"
"I understand what you mean," looking at Orin Snyder, whose face was full of "I like money!", Chen Geng nodded with a smile: "Just last year, it should be a millennium, and that little guy from the family in Texas has approved the documents for the operation of a uniform private prison in Texas, and our Michigan prison has always been overcrowded...... So, Orin, I know what you mean, and you should know what I mean. ”
"Yes, yes," Orin Snyder, who had thoroughly understood what Chen Geng meant, had a face that was red with excitement, and he rubbed his hands excitedly, but he was not without worry: "But if I am the governor, then I can't ......."
"When you were governor, you really couldn't show up as a private prison contractor, but if you give up the campaign and wait until you retire, that's a different matter, isn't it?" Chen Geng said with a smile: "Of course, I also understand your worries, but who dares to attack the general counsel of my ruling team?"
Orin Snyder understood that he had promised to give up the campaign and join his Fernandez team of governing advisers, so that he could get a piece of the "great cause" of this private prison.
Orin Snyder felt that such conditions and demands were fair, and he pondered for a moment and asked a question that he was most concerned about: "How many shares can I hold?"
Such a private prison, involving all aspects of interests, even he Fernandez wants to eat alone, for this, Orin Snyder is still very clear, in the future, this private prison will inevitably have multiple shareholders, and Orin Snyder's requirements are not high, as long as he can have a 15%, even if it is about 10% of the shares, he will be content.
Chen Geng did not sell Guanzi: "8%. ”
Orin Snyder was a little disappointed: "That's ......"
8% is a little less, only a little more than half of 15%......
Chen Geng smiled slightly, he understood why Orin Snyder had such an expression: "Orin, do you know which is the largest prison in the United States?"
"Of course, California's National Seventh Penitentiary," Orin Snyder said without hesitation, "175,000 inmates can be held......
Speaking of this, Orin Snyder reacted instantly: Yes, the whole person in front of him is Fernandez Chen! If he wants to enter the private prison industry, how can he be a small prison with only a few thousand people?!
Thinking of this, Orin Snyder suddenly became excited: if it is a large enough prison, 8% of the shares are not unacceptable.
