First inmate, the guy who didn't return the apostrophe.
OP: I'm pretty sure the vast majority of your monsters will be prison unions, not private prisons.
No more Medicaid funded nursing homes, but you can go to prison for standing in the way of the secret police. The obvious solution is right there.
KH is one of the authors of the old "The RBC"/SameFacts blog along with the late Mark A.R. Kleiman, if anyone remembers.
Columbus had an abandoned prison they turned into a hockey arena. A cautionary tale for us.
All those people that ICE grabs go into the system and stay there indefinitely as forced labor for whatever the SS ICE wants them to do.

Guys, it's the dumbest timeline. Congress unanimously passes a tough-on-crime bill extending everyone's sentences 25 years.
6: Just to be clear they tore down the prison and built an arena in roughly the same spot. It's not the same structure.
And here I was imagining some intricate new brutality swirling through the frosted over courtyards, bloodthirsty Ohioans heckling from the catwalks.
I think they also built an office park.
I assume Trump will convert them all to death camps.
3: Surprisingly, the California prison guards' union, which was notorious in this regard, did very little political spending between 2005 and 2019. And that includes the entire (second) governorship of Jerry Brown, who greatly reduced prison population by moving a chunk to county jails (where they often got out sooner).
But then, maybe over these exact existential issues, they started spending big on Gavin Newsom - like millions, particularly on his anti-recall campaign. But he has still closed three state prisons and ended the contract on a private one in his time.
8: Only 147,000 people are in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons. The rest are state or local facilities, plus immigration detention and US Marshals (pretrial).

NH is laying off a bunch of prison guards per its latest budget. But that's more about Republicans slashing spending so they can drown the government in a bathtub than it is about actual workforce need.
At the time they are increasing mandatory minimums and revoked bail reform, so I think the idea is for the incarceration experience just to generally be more punitive and harsh.
11: where I am at this very moment "working".
I hope the army of displaced rats is gone by now.
GOT SOME BAD NEWS ON THAT FRONT
Incarceration Cliff
When they remake Cheers in 2034, Cliff will be a prison guard as it will not be realistic that the government would employ someone to deliver mail.
I shudder to think of what the remake will do to Norms.
Anyway, it looks like Louisiana is doing their part to keep the incarcerated population up.
16:!!!
In MA we've already been shutting them down. The oldest prison outside of Boston closed. It right near the commuter rail, so it's prime real estate for housing.
In the past 10 years it dropped about 45%. We're the least incarcerated state in the country. I think there are policy choices too. The guy I mentored through college behind bars got off of parole. His parole officer was a big support person for him and really encouraging him to take that step. When I went to a sentencing hearing for him several years ago, they were pretty harsh. He said he was told that the current governor is trying to get people out of the system.
We've also changed how we deal with non-violent drug offfenders, so fewer of the, are in prison.
Just read 16. Wow, totally different from here. And I don't think of Healey a drastically more liberal than Baker. Kind of pissed bout her approach to ICE, tbh.

For a movie that's basically one and a half hours of one and a half people talking about not very much, Mimang is actually great.

To what extent is the decline one incarceration causally related to the increase in homelessness?

This qualifier is doing a lot of work.
It's really good! Just don't expect John Wick, is what I'm saying.
John Wick was very good, but I'm not watching it again.
25: I am just curious about the half person.
It's more like one and two quarters, really.
34: Dead-on ogged impression!
33: Is this new math?
I can't go more than 100 yards crawl without losing all form and breathing very wrong.
26: Maybe somewhat, but it's certainly not the prime driver of homelessness - that's housing costs. Much like you can have more substance dependence but far less homelessness in states with cheap housing.
I was also wondering whether less incarceration for non-violent drug offenses could play a role in the pipeline the other direction.
I live in a very LCOL region and homelessness has gone way up, obviously not as much as in California, but still a lot.
39: Remember also that the bulk of incarceration is sentencing for more serious or violent crime because that's what piles up the population not getting out over decades.
If homelessness has gone up a lot recently it's almost certainly because housing demand suddenly hit the limit of available supply. There are other causal factors but they don't usually change that quickly.
37: I've just discovered water aerobics and it's my new favorite thing.
