> The system doesn't want to manufacture yet another felony and then incarcerate someone for it out of thin air, that just costs the system more money.

You say this like Florida doesn't have both the most private prisons in the country, and the most inmates held in such facilities.

"The system" doesn't care. Florida has, repeatedly, shown a willingness to cut back on education and healthcare.

And private prisons have repeatedly been shown to be a hotbed of corruption.
