The only profit they've found beyond the massive amounts of drugs sold by the rich in the inner cities, and the rent-to-own furniture stores whose deals work out to 1000% APR, and the check cashing/loan shylock stores that do the same thing in ripping-off poor people -- is the profits they've found in locking up the people and putting them in for-profit prisons.

Using a variation on the same business model of the slave traders who brought those young men's ancestors (and mine) here.

They're still making money off misery, just in a different way.
