Nobody wants a prison near them. So what are they supposed to do? Prisons and power plants, nobody willingly invites them to their community.
That's not the case in many rural, american counties all across the United States where a prison is sometimes very welcome for all its' prison jobs. Some huge number like 2,000,000 of the US population of 305,000,000 are incarcerated in prisons, which is a very high percentage compared to other first world countries like Canada, France, Germany, Australia and Japan.

Is the United States still a first world country?

Most likely, high unemployment = higher crime rates and more people in prisons.
