Why would a union want more prisons? Surely the whole point of a union is to lobby for better pay and conditions for its individual members, I don't see what the incentive is for the union to create more prisons, to get more union members? Why?

More members equal more political power.

More members equal more funding.

More members equal more possibility of existing members to become senior.
