The customer of privatized police forces is you, the end user, which is why there is healthy competition and relatively few "incidents."
The customer of the privatized prison is not you but the state. As a result, they compete with each other to do the best "prisoning" (ie punishing bs rehabilitation, using them as almost-slave labor) for thirst cost. If you were the customer, (as in you directly picked your prison provider), the incentives would be much different:

- mc32 12y agoI think the reason there are fewer 'incidents' as you put it, is that private forces are wont to escalate issues to state police forces. Some private security have severe restrictions on when they may or may not fire their firearms --due to not having the same immunity (indemnification) as state police forces. The video presenter presumes people will follow rules --even violent people will follow rules --what force is going to enforce those rules 'not being on someone's property', for example. And unless all communities are run similarly, this will create 'outcasts'. Bad actors would just find another place to lay low.
