监狱工业复合体

监狱工業複合體（英語：Prison-Industrial Complex，PIC），也称监工复合体，是工业复合体的一种，该词源自1950年代的军工复合体一詞，用来描述美国监狱私有化后囚犯人数迅速增加、逐步成为全世界监禁率最高国家的现象，其中私人监狱向政府和企業提供商品和服务以牟取暴利。

常见的监工复合体是签订廉价合同的监狱劳动公司，建筑公司，大规模监视技术供应商，经营监狱食品服务和医疗设施的公司。惩教人员工会，私人训诫公司，律师游说团体代表他们的利益。

美国公民自由联盟认为，与国营监狱相比，私人监狱公司从贫困社区中牟利的程度相当多。纽约时报托马斯·埃德尔（Thomas B.Edsall）指出：监禁服务的商业化程度越高，对穷人的服务成本就越高。
