It actually did prevent lots of famines.

Except it does? Capitalist countries don’t seem to have any famines. You could argue that for profit prisons are similar to gulags in some ways but the important differences are so vast it’s hard to compare them honestly.

Doesn't the US already have an above average incarceration rate and private prisons? Maybe, just maybe, there's some relation?
