The Privatization Of Federal And State Prisons
The Privatization Of Federal And State Prisons
The US role as the most imprisoning nation on earth results
not only from criminalizing nonviolent actions
such as the smoking of marijuana, and mandatory
sentencing policies expropriated from the judiciary
by the executive, but in addition
the profit motive in privatized prisons which make
more money the more prisoners they have.
The bottom line in privatized prisons is saving money...
cheaper less healthy food, shoddier libraries if any,
guards it's harder to monitor, guards who are brutal or
who rape the prisoners etc. etc. There is a profit
motive to nonrelease of prisoners who should be free.
It is more difficult to stop the violence of guards in privatized prisons.
