I was acting crazy in North America, and all the crazy people there took it seriously.

Chapter 75 The air in Chicago smells so sweet (Bonus chapter for 100 monthly votes)

The collapse of the Chicago Police Department alarmed the entire Chicago city government.

Two major gangs are sweeping up criminals on the streets and sending them all to the police station.

What kind of dark fairy tale plot is this?!
No, family, it doesn't matter anymore!
We need to quickly find a way to deal with this surge in criminal cases, which has now reached three digits!

The gangsters were having a good time making arrests, but the city government and police chiefs were worried their hairlines were receding at a visible rate.

First, where are all these prisoners going to be held?
Second, where does the money to feed and support these criminals come from?
Providing even the most basic bread and water to these hundreds of extra prisoners every day is a huge expense; just the need to allocate police officers to guard these criminals has brought other police work to a near standstill...

The biggest problem is that there's really nowhere to lock people up!
Chicago has never been a particularly safe city, and although the police are extremely incompetent, the prisons are never empty.

You said you'd build a new prison right away?
Putting aside the question of where the money came from, the approval process for American public prisons is extremely complicated. It usually takes several years from application to prison construction. How can the ever-increasing number of prisoners afford to wait that long?
What, you're saying we don't care?

A huge group of reporters, like hungry wolves, were staring intently at them! Can you believe their eyes weren't looking away for even a second?
(Reporters: No, we were just numb and our eyes were glazed over; we had no other reaction!)

Mayors are considering granting early "pardons" to some of those with less serious crimes in order to alleviate some of the pressure.

Then, somehow, the news reached the ears of the two major gangs.

Al Capone and Donald both stated through different channels—

Mr. Mayor, we worked so hard to arrest these pests who disrupt the order and stability of Chicago. You're just going to release them like that? Doesn't that discourage the many "enthusiastic citizens"? Who will be willing to work for the safety of Chicago in the future?
The threat in his words was palpable even through the phone line.

The mayor really wants to just fuck them!

If you guys hadn't gone crazy, I'd still be leisurely playing golf right now!
You dare to threaten me?
Believe me or not...

Forget it, considering the hefty illicit income, he won't bother arguing with these brutes!
Moreover, the citizens of Chicago have now realized what's happening, and the cheers for the two gangs' "crime-fighting" efforts are deafening!

Chicago is a city of immigrants, and the large influx of immigrants has made it a "land of opportunity," which has rapidly led to industrial development and local prosperity.

However, the crime problems brought about by immigrants have never decreased.

Although the two major gangs established their own underground order, smaller gangs and factions always sprang up like mushrooms after rain, making it impossible to completely eliminate or incorporate them.

Especially at night, you can find gun violence, knife attacks, and robberies in any random neighborhood.

Now, with the two gangs joining forces in this sweep, it's visibly safe to walk down any street at night!

Although we don't know how long this security situation will last, we should cheer for now!
Uh, some people say that the two major gangs are also criminals, so does that mean they don't commit crimes?

You clearly don't understand Chicago—these two gangs make a fortune just from selling alcohol semi-openly; ordinary crime is completely unnecessary for them.

At least they're much more reliable than the corrupt cops in Chicago.

The full support of ordinary Chicago citizens is also a key reason why city government officials cannot shirk their responsibilities.

We're all being watched! Do we even need to vote anymore?
Fortunately, the gangs weren't entirely unreasonable.

The Irish group stated, "We're not just here to cause trouble; we have a brilliant idea that can solve this problem once and for all—"

“We’ll fund the construction of the new prison facilities! The city government only needs to grant us a franchise and an incarceration contract…”

……

Such a brilliant idea could only have come from the genius Logan.

“Private prisons? What’s the point of that?” Donald thought it was too much trouble from the start.

Logan smiled and said, "Don't underestimate the prison business. If done well, these private prisons can not only be very profitable, but they can even go public. It's definitely a sunrise industry!" Of course, Logan didn't think they really needed to make money from the private prison business.

He just thought it was so much fun!
Criminals arrest other criminals, then lock them up in a prison they themselves run...

Oh my God! This has evolved to the South American version decades later.

Is modern American society allowed to be this "capitalist"?

"Will the government allow us to do this?"

Richard couldn't imagine that a state institution like a prison could be privatized.

"Give it a try." Logan really didn't know if it was even possible to do this in this day and age.

Then--

It's possible! Why can't we do it!

The municipal government, which had been driven to the brink of despair by a constant stream of criminals and an empty budget, grasped at this lifeline and agreed almost without hesitation!

They simply couldn't handle the constant influx of prisoners, so they told Donald directly that if he could finish building the prison within a week, all the prisoners would be under his jurisdiction.

A week? How is that even possible normally?

Without hesitation, Donald bought a poorly managed old hotel in the North District and began renovations. Wire mesh, fences, and reinforced doors and windows were quickly installed.

Alcapon didn't know what the benefits were, but seeing how enthusiastic Donald was, he joined in the fun, rented a hotel, and made the necessary renovations.

The news immediately drew all eyes to Chicago.

Well, to be honest, everyone's saying that there are just too many show-offs in Chicago, their antics are dazzling, we need a break...

Slow down my ass!

When did gangs gain the right to arrest people? Now they even want to own private prisons.

Prisons are an important part of the state apparatus, and strengthening and optimizing prison management is an important path for the country to achieve the rule of law. How can prisons be privatized?
But before the whole country could react, Voice of Freedom radio station summarized the major changes in Chicago—

Jeff Hackman proclaimed in an excited voice, "Citizens of Chicago! Listeners of America! A great moment has arrived!"

"We can proudly announce that, under the visionary leadership of the city government, with the selfless dedication of our city's two major NGOs, and with the strong support of the citizens of Chicago, the deteriorating situation of public safety in Chicago can be officially declared over!"

"Yes! You heard me right! Chicago is so safe now that the sky is so blue!"

"When you set foot on Chicago soil and breathe in the first breath of Chicago air, you'll find that the air is so sweet and fresh, and filled with a strange kind of luxury..."

"That's the taste of a perfect blend of freedom and order! That's the fruitful result of innovation and responsibility!"
