Why was the prison system privatized?
The problem isn't that the prison was privatized. This kind of railroading goes on even with public prisons too, because those prisons are part of the county budget and hence part of "their" money in the commissioner's eyes, ie, the "judges" are told which way to vote by da Boss.
(my dad, a retire TX judge, is betting these weren't real "judges" as you think of them but more like clerks employed by the county with the word "Judge" in the job title - not independent of the county political bosses in any way)
(my dad also says there's not going to be any "up to" on this one - those two can write in the max sentence on their prison calendar right now, and add after that any max state charges. He also thinks they may lose their civil immunity)

It wasn't the local politicians who set this up.
Your knowledge of the details in this case is remarkable.
