Default to create inhumane conditions.

Does "to create inhumane conditions" refer to "to create inhumane conditions

Context:
"The prison industry" is burgeoning in America. More prisoners mean a vast influx of wealth for private prisons. Economic pressure has combined with an increasingly hardnosed attitude toward criminals to create inhumane conditions.

"Powerful people are making a lot of money. They don't care who's innocent and who's guilty..." [more]

They would be inhumane for anyone- it's a universal concept, IMO.
