Like say you're a rich business owner and you have to deal with a troublesome union boss. You just pay for him to be imprisoned by the security firm.

Why would a security firm (in a competitive market) risk their reputation by imprisoning someone they know is innocent? That's suicide.

But does everybody else know it? Is there a trial? And how would that be fairly administered. Also I don't see why it's necessarily suicide if they have good PR, but it's possible.

Everybody else doesn't need to know it. The fact that people can find out is enough incentive for a security firm to not risk disaster for the sake of one client's business. If it did get out that the firm knowingly imprisoned an innocent man (!!!) then that would be all she wrote for that firm.

Here's where you say "Well what if the business man paid them an exorbitant amount of money? Enough money to make it worth it for the firm to take the risk!"

So then I'll ask you what problem the union boss could possibly be causing the business man that it would be worth it for him to pay a security firm this exorbitant amount of money? Why would he risk *his* reputation by paying for someone to be imprisoned? The hypothetical does not add up.
