By silently voting you mean they just happen to love the prison system, or that they are hiding their links to it? It should be public knowledge if a politician is receiving kickbacks from the prison industrial complex, but I’m sure some manage to hide it too.
I’m all for publicly shaming them all, just trying to encourage focusing on the ones currently in power and on the take. But if you’re relying on people who have no shame to be ashamed, then there could well be no progress.

Not for a politician who would silently vote in favor of charging people for their own caging and enslavement.
If you’re that beholden to the prison industrial complex, you’re going to continue to be unless publicly shamed for it.
