Why would a for-profit business not want repeat customers?

For-profit prison inmates are more like slaves than customers.

How are they the product? Okay, apparently some american prisons make you pay for the privilege of being in a cage, but I believe that using 'forced labor' (euphemism for slavery) is their main source of $$$.

Also most prisons the world over are not for profit businesses.
