HARRIMAN WAS NOT SURPRISED BY THE NEWS OF THE UMBRELLA'S PRIVATE PRISONS, IT WAS ONLY A SMALL ONE: THIS IS THE UNITED STATES, AND THE HISTORY OF PRIVATE SECTOR INVOLVEMENT IN PRISON-TYPE PUBLIC FACILITIES DATES BACK TO 1607, SHORTLY AFTER THE ARRIVAL OF THE FIRST ENGLISH COLONISTS IN VIRGINIA, AND IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY, MODERN PRISONS EMERGED AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO SERVICE OR THE DEATH PENALTY, AND PRIVATELY RUN PRISONS GRADUALLY BECAME COMMON, AND NOW, MANY LARGE CORPORATIONS ARE INVOLVED, BECAUSE PRISONS HAVE BECOME A NEW SOURCE OF PROFIT GROWTH - IN 1885Thirteen states began renting prisoners to private companies as cheap labor, and private prisons became more profitable than they used to be.

UMBRELLA is a large company, and it has a superior base than many companies, a well-armed mercenary army, and its participation in the prison industry is a natural thing, sooner or later, it is only related to time, there is no need to be surprised.

The same is true of Qin Lang's other plan - to provide security services to other private prisons and government prisons. He is the leader of the mercenaries, and it is not surprising that he thinks so. It's just that Harriman feels that it may not succeed, or that it won't succeed as Qin Lang expects—it seems that no private or government prison is willing to hand over its security department to a private company that has nothing to do with it.

"What are your specific plans?" He asked curiously.

"I'm going to convince the state government to hand over the security department of a particular prison to my security guards, or hire someone from me as a prison security adviser as a pilot project, from the point of view of strengthening prison security and saving administrative costs." Qin Lang said, "There are also leased land in the Philippines and Guangzhou Bay. Duncan is lobbying the council and municipal bodies of Zhanjiang before he travels to Manila. I am sure that the initial results will be seen soon. ”

He looked relaxed and seemed to have foreseen that these lobbying efforts would be successful and that UMBRELLA would definitely get a contract for security services in the government prison, but in reality, he just didn't care.

If the event was successful, then it was good, the plan went very well, and if not, then there is nothing to regret.

Because he knew a little secret that no one else knew—and in fact he shouldn't—that America's private prisons were soon on the verge of a decades-long low: first in 1905, Theodore. Roosevelt would sign a bill prohibiting the use of prison labor, followed by the passage of the Haas-Cooper Act in 1929, which would allow states to prohibit out-of-state inmates from entering the local market, and finally throughout the Great Depression, Congress and state legislatures would eventually pass laws to further reduce the use of prison labor. As a result, private prisons gave way to government prisons, and the United States would usher in an era of only government regulators until the seventies of the twentieth century.

Then private prisons will flourish again and become an unstoppable trend.

Of course, these futures seem too far away, and seem to be beyond the scope of Qin Lang's grasp and use, but he can be sure that as long as Roosevelt's laws come into effect, the survival of private prisons in the United States will gradually become difficult, and at that time, it will be very easy to take over their security departments in the name of "saving money", or to take over the entire prison.

He only had to wait until then, less than four years, which would soon pass, and he could also secretly push Roosevelt to sign that law earlier.

He can do it for a small cost. Qin Lang smiled secretly, becoming the owner of the largest private prison system in the United States, what an interesting future - as for those laws that prohibit the use of prisoner labor in the future, they are not a problem at all.

For nearly thirty years, no one can predict whether he will have the power to prevent or delay the birth or implementation of those laws, and that private prisons will sell more than just prisoner labor. In addition to the traditional "very pornographic and violent" profit-making projects, it is also a good business model to provide high-end hotel or resort-style paid supervision services to the upper-class and nouveau riche who have been sentenced to prison.

Everything is to be expected.

Qin Lang examined his future contentedly, then withdrew his gaze and returned to Harriman.

He asked a new question. "What if you and his efforts don't succeed?"

Qin Lang replied in an understated tone: "Then, I also mentioned Tanamo Prison as a sample to demonstrate my security system. ”

Actually, he wasn't really convinced of that. There is no doubt that the prison was well constructed: its defenses consisted of three 12-foot-high barbed wire fences and two 14-foot-high reinforced concrete walls topped with a one-foot-high electrical grid, fifteen watchtowers, and three prison areas, playgrounds, and labor quarters separated by thick walls. Theoretically, with these facilities, the prison's 100 armed guards would be sufficient to suppress any violent activity on the 1,500 inmates who would be held there, whether they attempted to escape or to create a large-scale riot.

Moreover, O'Connor had a much more radical idea: to lay out two minefields between three barbed wire. However, Qin Lang did not agree with this measure. This Guantanamo prison is different from another Guantanamo prison in that it accepts mainly criminal offenders and illegal immigrants, as well as those who owe money to the company but do not want to pay the debt, it will not include terrorists and Republican Guard soldiers, and there is no need to worry about the Cuban army.

No businessman can accept such behavior.

Moreover, Qin Lang had a slight suspicion that the prison's current defense system might have made people think that it was a waste of money.

That's not good news.

He pondered, and for a moment, even forgot about Harriman, who was thankfully also thinking about a question.

"Guantanamo?" He hesitated, "In Cuba?" ”

"No," Qin Lang came back to his senses and shook his head, "It's near San Diego." ”

"You named a prison near San Diego Guantanamo?"

"Yes. What's the problem? ”

"It's just that I think the name ......," Harriman paused. Although there is some curiosity about Qin Lang's reason for naming his prison "Guantanamo", it is just an inconsequential question, not worth wasting time - and Qin Lang's interests have always been unique.

He started over. "I'd like to visit your Guantánamo Bay, can I?"

"Absolutely." After speaking, after a pause, Qin Lang continued: "However, I don't know if you still have that much time. After all, you're here to check on the progress of the War Department's commissioned training program for Union soldiers, aren't you? ”

Before Harriman arrived in San Diego, the telegram he sent to the Pentagon did exactly say that. Of course, Qin Lang never believed the words in that telegram, and it was indeed a cover. "It's our Vice President who is really going to check that project, and I'm just going to San Diego in the name of inspecting the training program to talk to you about the war situation between Japan and Russia, and to get your views on the latest situation in China."

Qin Lang became serious. "Then we should focus on those two issues."

And Roosevelt. He stressed the name in his heart. Theodore. Roosevelt was not an easy man to dismiss, and even if their personal relationship was good -- not good -- history has proved that the Republican politician, who openly declared during the 1896 election that "it is good for American society to shoot a number of union leaders every year," has formulated many policies since becoming president of the United States, and some of them have even taken a 180-degree turn.

This is the consistent style of politicians in the United States, whether they are Republicans or Democrats.

For now, of course, Roosevelt is not yet the president of the United States, but he will soon be in that position: according to historical calculations, it may have been in the recent past, in a few days, William Franklin D. Roosevelt. McKinley would become the third U.S. president in history to be assassinated.

If this case had happened, Roosevelt would not have had time to go to San Diego to inspect the progress of the commissioned training contract.

At least not for a short period of time, maybe months.

Qin Lang became as relaxed as he had started again. Instead of devoting some of his energy to Roosevelt, he only needed to address the two issues that Harriman was about to discuss with him -- no doubt Harriman represented Wall Street -- which was very easy for him to do.

Every word he had to say was ready, for the development of the situation had always been within his expectations.

Plans are well underway.

Qin Lang knew this very well, and then he realized that Harriman seemed to be the same—he still asked to visit Guantánamo Bay, and he was adamant.

"We can visit the prison and discuss our problems at the same time." "I'm sure we won't waste any time by doing that," he said. ”

"As you wish, Mr. Harriman." After pretending to think about it for a while, Qin Lang agreed. He turned around, gave instructions to one of the guards to bring the carriage over, then turned back, and then said to Harriman: "Guantanamo Bay is thirty miles from here, and I will give you a full briefing when we get there." ”

"Thank you very much." Harriman nodded slightly.

Out of curiosity about Qin Lang's idea rather than the prison itself, he eagerly wanted to inspect the prison, but this wish was ultimately not fulfilled - five minutes later, just as he was about to board the carriage, a Pentagon staff member rushed over waving a telegram.

"Urgent news from Washington!" He shouted, "President McKinley has been shot!" (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
