Would you believe ‘prison consultant’ is a career?

I was intrigued by the article title in my LinkedIn feed: Why use a Personal Crisis Manager / Prison Consultant? It never occurred to me that some people would be making a living helping others cope with life behind bars but a search on ‘prison consultant’ turned up plenty of results.

I guess with between 1% of the United States population living behind bars and privatized prisons getting 95% occupancy guarantees from state governments … this new career track kind of makes sense. In a very strange way.
