I just ran across this video. It seems there was a secret meeting in the late 80s or early 90s in which music industry leaders and private prison corporations got together and signed ndas enforced by the cia to promote gangsta rap. The private prison corporations had contracts with the states requiring them to maintain a 90% population level. So they conspired with the record labels to push only one form of rap. rap that glorified crime. The number of prisons in the us was then 500. Now there are 1700.

I guess it all depends on what a person calls a "conspiracy theory". Are you aware that it was the cia who coined the term in the first place to denigrate those who figured out what they were doing behind the scenes?
There have always been conspiracies. You too Brutus? The jacobins and the French revolution. The Pharisees murder of Jesus. Saul trying to kill David. The murder of all the king's sons so Athaliah could be queen. The saving of Joash so he could become king at age 7. Guy Fawkes day. The devil rebelling against God in heaven. These are only a very few of countless conspiracies down through time.
To tell if something is true or not a person has to look at the evidence. Was there a huge growth in crime starting in the early 90s? Have privately run prisons become far more common than state run prisons? Has prison growth exploded since the early 90s? Has the growth in prison population been in minorities and especially young blacks?
