HOW THE MUSIC INDUSTRY FACTORS INTO THIS

Some of the largest sole stockholders in the private prison industry are owned by the EXACT same companies/people who own the private prisons.

The private prisons who most benefitted from last night’s stock surge are CoreCivic (formerly named Corrections Corporation of America) and GEO. According to Huffington Post:

The largest private prison contractor, CoreCivic …saw its stock shoot up by more than 58 percent shortly after morning trading began. Stocks for the second largest contractor, GEO Group, rose by more than 28 percent.

Here’s where it gets tricky- According to HipHopAndPolitics, a company called Vanguard Group Incorporated is the largest stock holder in CoreCivic and is the third largest stock holder in GEO Group. Vanguard also owns a high amount of stake in Viacom and Time Warner. Viacom owns BET and MTV, while Time Warner owns Warner Bros. (which owns several music labels), HBO, and TNT. So as you can see there is an overlapping of industries, interests, investments, and money sources.

And in the meantime, the music artists will probably only help to keep the prison doors open for their loyal fans to get dragged through adorned in cuffs and shackles.

The next four years will be interesting.

Not only is there factual evidence of this, but an unnamed music industry executive has come forth and claims that in the early 90’s there was also a private industry meeting that took place with a small group of major record label executives. Apparently the objective of the meeting was to encourage label execs to sign artists who knew how to create a certain type of rap music that focuses on making criminal behavior look really cool, so that their rap fans could become conditioned to want live out the lifestyles they were hearing about from their favorite rappers. Thus landing them in jail and significantly increasing the number of inmates, which would ultimately increase the record labels’ profits as silent investors into the privately owned prison system and that’s exactly what seems to be taking place based on the state of today’s music..

According to Hip Hop And Politics, a deal was offered to 48 U.S. states by the
