This episode of Cognitive Dissonance is brought to you by our patrons, you fucking rock.

and they do talk about prison and justice reform on that podcast quite a lot.

And one thing that he said that surprised me was that only 8% of prison in our country are privatized.

So that's actually a pretty small amount.

However, a lot of the services within prison are privatized.

So you might be in a non-prioritized prison, but the services you get are privatized.

And one of the major services that's privatized is healthcare services.

And I don't remember the name of the healthcare company that serves most of our prisons,
