Which is the whole purpose of privatization. To loot the public treasury.

USA USA USA

500,000 people incarcerated in 1984, now we have almost 2.5 million, and most of them are nonviolent offenders.

We need to reform or prison system !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

imagine that. pay a company to keep beds full and they keep beds full.

go figure.

require states to supply a certain percentage of warm bodies to occupy the beds. It is big like 90%. If the state can't find a deserving client, the prison keeps one of their charges longer. It's simple mathematics for the investors who get rich from more American corruption.

... won't stop the governor of Wisconsin.

It is, of coarse, good to have the numbers to back this up, but, really, this was completely predictable.

Has the prison turned over to a private operating company. So far they've shown how the correctional officer jobs are mostly part-time, one guy concerned about losing his health insurance, the quality of food drastically decreased as they purchased premade meals instead of cooking on site, and the boardroom meetings stressing profit over everything, including rehabilitation. It's a major theme of the newly released season.

If you are against that, you must be a commie!

From domestic slavery to outsourced slavery, from destroying our natural world to the certain end of our natural world.

Some say "How can I ease the suffering? How can I make things better?"
Others are freed from the bonds of liberalism. All they say is "How can I get a piece of that action? Are you hiring? If you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours."

This cancer needs to be ended as soon as possible.

(Hey, look at that; we agree on something...)

Of course, with our new land of little opportunity, even those who have consistently played by the rules and avoided crime have a hard time getting by.
