"The Prison Industrial Complex" (Documentary)

"The Prison Industrial Complex" refers to the interconnected system where private companies, government agencies, and financial interests profit from incarceration. The documentary explores how economic incentives, policies, and laws contribute to mass imprisonment, often disproportionately affecting marginalized communities. It highlights concerns that incarceration is sometimes driven more by profit motives than genuine rehabilitative or justice needs, leading to a cycle of over-policing and mass confinement. Overall, the film critically examines how this complex shapes societal, political, and economic structures, raising questions about fairness, human rights, and the societal costs of a heavily privatized prison system.
