Society doesn't think like that. What US society thought, was that everything should be determined by free markets.
This is what happens when you put the prison service out to the lowest bidder.
And lets not even get into the part where the private companies running the prisons now have a vested interest in hiring lobbyists to provoke tougher sentencing.
But perhaps it would be easier simply to stop at Society doesn't think.
- briandear 11y agoHave you been in La Sante prison in France? How about any Central, South American or Asian prisons? This has nothing to do with prison privatization and it's clear many don't have a clue of the conditions outside of a few newsworthy European prisons. Talk to a US consular officer who's been at the job more than five minutes, then we can make some comparisons. Blaming privatization is a red herring.. Venenzuela prisons aren't a place I even want to spend five minutes as a visitor.
