<p>Regarding your first point - how about George Santos? I suspect Santos was more well known than any of the crypto-scammers, was clearly guilty, was derided by both ends if the political spectrum - yet Trump commuted him.</p>

<p>My guess/experience - because there are probably layers of management and executives who have an uptime # in their OKRs or whatever is fashionable these days.<p>The decision to post anything about outages comes from the executive chain in many orgs lest they miss out on bonus compensation for the year.<p>This is the same reason services like docker and aws will <i>very</i> rarely call an outage an 'outage' - it's always 'service degradation', even when dockerhub is completely useless as it is right now.</p>

<p>Should be easily doable with a semgrep rule, e.g.:<p><pre><code>    ~> cat semgrep.yaml

          match ...:

...<p><pre><code>    ~> cat test.py

    foo = 1
    match foo:
      case 1:
        print("one")

...<p><pre><code>    ~> semgrep --config semgrep.yaml test.py

<p>I suspect that is true but here is the difference: organizations that benefit from fewer prisons have a multitude of other things they benefit from (and can lobby for). Private prison operators on the other hand really only have one thing that can improve their bottom line at the end of the day - more prisons.<p>Outside of a few non-profit orgs I suspect there aren't a lot of dollars lobbying for fewer prisons, it's not a great look and it's easily to spin as "company X doesn't want to lock up violent criminals!<p>On the other hand that's really the only agenda item private prison operators put their lobbying dollars toward.</p>
