> What's the difference between "enforcing citizens rights" and "ensuring that the private org understands that the government of the people is in charge"

The difference is that you can use "ensuring that the private org understands that the government of the people is in charge" for anything including abusing citizens rights

The USA has a major problem with prisons, no doubt. USA over prosecutes, criminalizes things that shouldn't be criminalized (eating plants that grow naturally, consensual adult sex work, and many other things), has sentencing and treatment inconsistencies and inequities that are wrong, but do you really think US is worse/less ethical than Chinese prisons, labor camps, and general disappearance of persons? (I'm genuinely asking, not trying to make a rhetorical point through questioning. If that's what you really think, I'd like to understand your perspective)
