You're at least partly right, Blackstone, though Xavier's motivation is well known to be linked to primordial hatred of his alcoholic father, who is his prototype of the child-disrespecting adult.

This quote is from the link:

But he is egged on by the U.S. prisoner industry, which according to the magazine The Economist (see link in the cjat essay) has created seven times as many prisoners in the U.S., in proportion to population, than there are in any other western country. Only Russia comes close to have such a high proportionate prison population. People get paid good money for arresting all these criminals, for prosecuting them, for judging them, for incompetently defending them as court-assigned lawyers, for guarding them, building prisons for them, counselling them, analysing them and even, in some cases, killing them. This is a mega-industry and one of the few completely stable, tax-funded 'iron rice bowls' left in the de-industrialized, semi-foreclosed land of liberty. You want job security and a permanent place in the last fringe around the bald spot where the middle class used to stand, here is where to look.
