Chapter 2201 The Immortals are all Hell Capitalists!!! Please give me a monthly ticket!!!

From the beginning to the end, neither the immortals nor the supreme wizards had any intention of killing this group of gods.

Please, where can you find such a good prisoner?

In fact, almost all prisons in the world rely on prisoners to generate income. Letting prisoners do some labor can not only allow prisoners to consume their energy and reduce management costs, but also earn some money to subsidize the operating costs of the prison.

But there are very few countries that use prisons to generate income, and the United States has made this industry into a lucrative industry! In order to make a profit, they will put truant teenagers in prison; homeless people can be directly detained without trial as long as they lie down in the park; they will also interfere with legislation. As long as you are idle and wandering around the streets, you are likely to be identified as an illegal immigrant and get a prison package directly! Not only that, they will also force prisoners to sell blood to survive! Because all the prisoners here work more than 12 hours a day, but their deserved income is only 2% of the minimum wage standard. Compared with their extremely low wages, the facilities in the prison are ridiculously expensive: a 15-minute phone call costs $18, a video call costs $1 minute, a cigarette costs $1, and even a bed has to be paid by the day! How can these prisoners survive if they don’t sell blood? In order to maintain the occupancy rate, private prisons will "rent prisoners" from public prisons in exchange for high government subsidies. If there are not enough people, then it’s like I said above: go outside to catch truant students and homeless people!

There was once a black woman who was forced to go to jail 14 times because she couldn't pay back a debt of $5. The prison expenses made her debt pile up, and she became a prison ATM! This is the routine. The United States currently contributes 25% of the world's prison population with % of the world's total population. It's all money!

In 1971, the Nixon administration, in the name of the "War on Drugs," stepped up law enforcement and lengthened sentences, a policy that led to a surge in drug convictions. From 1980 to 2008, the number of drug-related inmates in U.S. state prisons increased from 1.9 to 25.

In the early 980s, the public prisons in the United States were already overcrowded, which made the US government finances overwhelmed. So President Reagan slapped his thigh and proposed a "genius" plan: handing over the prisons to private companies. Through "market-oriented" operations, it not only saved government expenditures, reduced costs and increased efficiency, but also developed enterprises to generate income. It was a win-win situation! As a result, the United States completely opened the "Pandora's Box" of capital manipulation of the judiciary. On January 1983, 1, the first private prison management company in the United States was founded. It was the Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) in Tennessee. The founder, Terrell Don Harto, was a warden before. He managed the prison systems of two states and knew the tricks in the prisons. Just three years after the company was founded, it was listed on the Nasdaq at a price of $28 per share and raised $9 million from the stock market. Today, it has developed into a listed company with an annual income of more than $1800 billion and is also the largest private prison company in the United States.

How do private prisons in the United States work? The government subsidizes private prisons based on the number of prisoners. For example, the American Corrections Corporation mentioned above subsidizes the government for each prisoner admitted at $58 per day. Private prisons can reduce operating costs to the extreme, and the cost of each prisoner can be reduced to $40. The difference of $18 goes into the pockets of private prisons. After decades of development, the private prison industry in the United States has grown into a mature industry with huge profits. By 2019, the top three contractors of private prisons in the United States owned more than 200 prisons, more than 15 beds, and annual profits of more than $50 billion. As of 2011, there were nearly 160 million prisoners in the United States, of which private prisons detained more than 8.2, accounting for % of the total number of prisoners. When prisoners become "commodities" and empty beds become "inventory", this business has an operating indicator - let more people sit in prison for longer!

How can capitalists only earn an honest profit of $18? They will squeeze out all other value from you without leaving a single drop. In private prisons, prisoners have several other identities. They are not only prisoners, but also cheap labor, political bargaining chips and human batteries. The first is to squeeze prisoners' wages. Prisoners in American prisons can do work such as construction, cleaning or assembly line production: such as producing daily necessities, food and military helmets. The hourly wage of prisoners in public prisons in the United States is $1.25, while the hourly wage in private prisons is only $0.1 to $0.4, with an average of $0.17, which is only 2% of the minimum wage in the United States.

But is it really possible to make money from capitalists?

That's too naive. The private prisons in the United States charge a lot of fees. They want to exploit all the money earned by prisoners and make them pay for the prisons. Prisoners are charged $15 for a 18-minute phone call, $1 for a 1-minute video call, and $1 for a cigarette. Even the bed they sleep on at night is not free. The daily rent for a bed in a private prison is $40-60, and a better plank bed is $70. Although the bulk of the money is paid by government subsidies, prisoners also have to pay for the rent of the bed for the part that is not covered. Some prisoners are forced to sell blood to pay for the bed rent. It's true that the prisons make money and spend it, and they have to sell blood to pay for the capitalists. What's even more infuriating is that America, which has always advocated freedom and democracy, forced prisoners to produce masks during the epidemic, turning prisons into slave factories: female prisoners infected with the new coronavirus worked for 12 hours in a row, but they couldn't even get a mask. The US government is not doing charity. They signed a "90% occupancy rate" clause with private prisons. If the prison does not reach this occupancy rate, it will pay a fine to the government. This has given rise to two extremely outrageous phenomena - renting prisoners and bribing to enter prison.

In December 2024, the Associated Press revealed a scandal that the Alabama State Prison in the United States has been renting prisoners to private companies since 12, and taking a 2000% commission from the prisoners' salaries, earning more than $40 million in revenue.

Another scandal is even more shocking! Between 2003 and 2008, two judges in Pennsylvania, USA, received a total of 260 million US dollars in bribes and convicted 4000 teenagers for "skipping classes" and "graffiti" in order to increase the occupancy rate of private prisons. You heard it right, the charges were "skipping classes" and "graffiti". This incident was so embarrassing for the US judicial system that the entire US legal community has been silent on this scandal so far. For the sake of profit, private prison interest groups will spend a lot of money on funding political candidates and political lobbying in order to get rid of political and legal constraints and strive to detain more prisoners. The two largest private prison contractors in the United States spent 2010 million US dollars on this between 2015 and 1460 alone. The main targets of prison expansion are vulnerable illegal immigrants and homeless people. In 2010, Arizona, USA, introduced a new illegal immigration bill, which allows people suspected of being illegal immigrants to be detained without trial.

In 2018, the U.S. Department of Justice announced a "zero tolerance" policy against illegal immigrants, further strengthening criminal prosecutions against illegal immigrants. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency detains at least 40 illegal immigrants each year, becoming a stable source of prisoners for private prisons.

In 2021, Los Angeles enacted the "Homeless Ordinance", requiring homeless people not to sit, lie down, sleep or camp in parks, overpasses, underpasses, tunnels, subways, etc. Violators will face a fine of up to $1000 and six months in prison. Los Angeles has a homeless population of up to 6, all of whom are potential customers for private prisons. The Obama administration tried to abolish private prisons, and in August 7.1, the Department of Justice announced plans to stop using private prisons. But less than a year later, Trump accepted a $2016 donation from two major private prison groups when he took office, and immediately overturned the plan as soon as he took office, and Trump's decision also caused the stock prices of these two companies to soar.

Private prisons run for profit are destined to become dark corners where violence is rampant, medical care is lacking, and racial discrimination is rampant, making them the worst-hit areas where human rights are lost.

The deduction of fees has led to extremely poor living conditions in private prisons. They will try every means to reduce the expenses of prisoners on medical care, food, training, etc. For example, a prison operated by the American Corrections Corporation was exposed. In order to save medical expenses, the prison insisted on refusing the prisoner's request for medical treatment, which eventually led to the amputation of his leg. In order to save costs, private prisons will even reduce the number of prison guards. A private prison in Lawrenceville holds more than 750 prisoners, but is equipped with only 5 prison guards. Not to mention the vicious criminals, even if it is to guard 750 students, 5 teachers are not enough. It is only a matter of time before such lax management leads to violent resistance to the law. According to statistics, the number of attacks on prisoners in private prisons in the United States is 65% higher than that in public prisons. In 2015, a large-scale gang riot broke out in a private prison in Oklahoma, with 300 prisoners participating, resulting in casualties among many prisoners and prison guards. Moreover, private prisons are the hardest hit areas of American racial discrimination. The imprisonment rate of African Americans is 5 times that of white people. Latino prisoners are forced to work and deported after being squeezed dry. In Nebraska, a black woman was imprisoned for owing $14. Two days after her release, she was arrested again for not being able to pay the money. She was imprisoned times in total, and her total debt increased every time she was released from prison.

Is this abstract enough?

But compared to the immortals...these capitalists are just little white rabbits!

Damn it, the immortals hold prisoners, and even the cells are built by the prisoners!

Not only do the prisoners have to spend money to imprison themselves, they also have to work for the immortals...they are simply hell-level capitalists!

Those immortals in ancient times must have something to say. Does it mean that if you want to become an immortal you must first become a capitalist?

Otherwise, I really don’t understand how those immortals managed to utilize everything so thoroughly!

As the light shines, everything begins to calm down.

Although the inner world of the earth was in a mess, it had calmed down. The confused Titans shook their heads and felt very regretful about the game just now... Why couldn't it last longer? You know, although the energy in the inner world of the earth was sufficient, the energy storm just now was filled with all kinds of energies. For the Titans, it was like entering a high-end buffet restaurant for free and eating to their heart's content.

But not long after they finished eating, the restaurant told them... it was closed!

So the Titans just went about their business as if nothing had happened.

As for being swept up into the sky and into the ground by the energy storm... Hey! Titans are thick-skinned and don't take it seriously at all.

Only the spirits of a few Supreme Sorcerers are still lingering on... They have been burned to the point where only a few remnants are left, and there is no way that these remnants can be restored. In other words, they are bound to face complete death, just like everyone else on Earth. After death, they will be completely dead.

There is no hell or heaven, no reincarnation.

It means disappearing completely.

However, the Supreme Wizards were very optimistic about this. After all, that was their original ending. In comparison, they had actually gained by sleeping in the Holy City for countless years.

That kind of deep sleep was just like the sleep they had when they were young, without any dreams. In one word, comfortable! Cool!

You know, they haven't had such a good time since they became the Sorcerer Supreme.

With this calculation, they definitely made a profit.

What else is there to be unhappy about?

"Young man, you still have some time. You can go back and take a look and explain everything... The young people nowadays are really getting worse with each generation. They die before they even find an heir. It's true! Oh, I'm really worried that something will happen. So you must explain everything clearly. After all... there won't be a next time for us."

It was Agamotto who said this.

He is in the best condition.

There is no way, he has been sleeping the longest and his soul is the most complete and strong.

Ancient One did not disappear either. The reason she was able to survive until now, in addition to her strength, was the care of other Supreme Sorcerers. The other Supreme Sorcerers all left their successors behind before returning to the inner world. Naturally, they had nothing to linger on except Ancient One.

She died prematurely and had no heirs, which was a very serious problem.

The other Supreme Sorcerers who did not dissipate did not speak, but just flashed away.

They probably wanted to see what the Earth looks like now.

Nothing else, just pure curiosity.

They no longer have time, not enough to do anything, so they might as well take a look at what the world is like now and satisfy their curiosity.

Ancient One smiled.

I didn't expect that I would have the chance to say goodbye in the end.

It seems...there's nothing wrong with it.

After saying that, he turned around and left the inner world.

The devastated inner world suddenly returned to peace, and the previously destroyed environment began to slowly recover... Well, it was still the energy of the God Group that was used!

It’s simply… It’s only natural that the God Group is so upset that they want to die.

After all, anyone who encounters this kind of capitalist who sucks the marrow out of people will go crazy.

In the outside world, the earthquake gradually stopped. If it weren't for the collapse of countless buildings, many people might have thought it was an illusion... After all, earthquakes are something that, even if the shaking is not strong in humans, can be fatal to buildings!
