Private Prisons in New Israel

In the State of New Israel, private prisons have started after the American Civil War mainly to incarcerate people to resist the State Government's power (many of whom are Native Americans or rebels) & other people who failed to perfectly obey the rules of the nanny police state, & as a thinly veiled, yet legal, way to funnel money to wealthy oligarchical corporatists. Generally, both juvenile prisons & regular prisons are owned & ran by private prison companies with contracts to the state in which that they must be at at least 100% capacity at all times.
But In the 20th century, there were less rebels to incarcerate thanks to the government schooling system. So instead, more nanny state laws were passed & enforced more strictly (such as recreational drug & alcohol prohibition) to keep the capacity at 100% or higher.

With the state's school-to-prison pipeline, the relationship between New Israel's prison system & government schools is actually as close as the relationship between the United States Navy & Marine Corps.


If one is arrested, if they’re both under 16 years old & not charged as an adult, they go to a juvenile prison, which is an extra-strict boarding school with more security.
If they’re 16 years old or older, OR under 16 but charged as an adult (& there is no minimum age at which one can be charged as an adult), they go straight to adult prison.

In regular prisons, prisoners are also used to do hard labor.

When one goes in, all of their clothing & personal belongings are taken away. The only clothing that they may wear are their bright red or orange jumpsuits & disposable sandals, & the only items that they may possess for themselves are cheap hygiene-related items & specifically approved religious items.
Most prisoners live in a "tent city", which is the same as Sheriff Joe Arpaio's tent city for the Maricopa County jail, BUT instead of using double bunk beds, bare metal triple bunk beds & stackable bunk beds are used, both 27 inches wide & 72 inches long at the largest, are used.
In cases where "tent city" does not provide enough restraint &/or security, prisoners are crammed into a dormitory that easily holds hundreds of other prisoners. If they're lucky, they'll get to sleep on a bunk bed that is designed to hold at least three individuals at a time, with no mattress or sheets. Again, the bunks are installed not for the benefit of the prisoners, but in an attempt to increase capacity for the dormitory.
Prisoners who are considered too troublesome to be housed with the general population would be housed in smaller cells, or even isolated. It is common for either small groups of prisoners or individual prisoners to be locked into a 35 square windowless cell. In the cell, there is NOTHING but a combination sink-toilet & a triple bunk bed (not that every cell will have multiple prisoners in it, depending on the situation) with no mats or even sheets on it.
It would look something like this, except that it would have a triple bunk bed & being poured concrete gray.
At the beginning of the prisoner's average day, they are woken up, & are given one cheap meal. After the several minute eating opportunity ends, they are sent to work. They do backbreaking work for 16 hours a day with virtually no pay, in often harsh conditions, in their jumpsuit & sandals. When the workday ends, they go back to their dormitory or cell, eat again, sleep, & rinse & repeat.
Prisoners are fed nutraloaf, or if the Federal Government doesn't allow the practice under the rules of cruel & unusual punishment, meat from factory-farms & plain bread, with a side of milk sourced from big dairy companies.
During a prisoner's institutionalization, the only time off that they have from this are working on their legal case, doing specifically approved religious activities, & that it about it.
