It is deliberate planning. There was an understanding of this and shift towards the perceived "expanding markets" you've described within the private prison industry. This was towards the middle/end of the Biden administration as they'd already capitalized on Trump term 1 policies that Biden left in place. I'm going to spare myself digging through the market journals right now but if you snoop around you can find it.
