I have a question about the private prison industry [View all]

If they profit off housing inmates what is to prevent them from goading inmates into crimes while incarcerated so they can keep them longer? Isn't it possible they could frame inmates just to keep them longer? Forgive my ignorance
if this is a stupid question, but I was just wondering.

& thank you in advance to any one who answers my questions
