Arguably prisons should not be privatized in the first place. There are problems associated with prison and police unions in general but this specific problem is largely a result of prison guards having a direct incentive to want more people in prison.
- gadders 3y agoThey'd still want that in public-sector prisons. They still need prisoners to stay employed.

- unmole 3y ago> Arguably prisons should not be privatized in the first place. Private prisons house ~8% of all prisoners in the US.
