Maybe if you have &quot;x-industrial complex&quot; and democracy failing on dealing with it, rather than to give up on democracy it would be a good idea to reduce the &quot;industrial&quot; a bit? I haven&#x27;t heard other countries have these democratic issues with prisons. At least here in Germany. Maybe the industrial aspect simply corrupts politicians and administrators. How would they make different, less corrupt decisions if they weren&#x27;t even under some democratic control?
