I know this will shock the pantaloons right offa you, but get this -- the prison system in the "deep south" states is essentially a legalized version of what they had beaten out of them 150 years ago. Free labor for the private profit of the aristocracy. There's nothing more to it.
Willie Nash's ridiculous twelve-year sentence for possessing a cell phone that the guards never took from him in the first place is just a pretext (and probably a deliberate one) to keep him for another decade of free scut work. Think about it next time you have one o' them there Popeye's chicken sammiches people are stabbing each other over.
Face it -- you live in a country where corporate scumbags and their scumbag shareholders have clear vested interests in kidnapping people and forcing them to work in horrific conditions for decades at a time. The for-profit carceral state not only needs to be ended, it should never have been allowed to start in the first place.
