Description:
A report has been released chronicling the political strategies of private prison companies "working to make money through harsh policies and longer sentences." Government spending on corrections has soared since 1997 by 72 percent, costing up to $74 billion in 2007. All the while, the private prison industry has packed in tremendous profits.

Nov 4, 2011 - I wonder if the managers and directors of these private companies would want thier own sons and daughters sentenced. If I wanted to get back at these companies I would want to ensure they were.

Jan 7, 2012 - If Ron Paul was to ever be our president, he would immediately pardon all non violent drug offenders. That is so racist... LEGALIZE, TAX IT and REGULATE it just like everything else, I would loooove to not have to feel like a CRIMINAL buying reefer. We need proper drug (and firearm) laws and regulations; that would take so much private interest money out of our government. Problem with obesity? Consume THC and dont eat when you get the munchies!

Feb 1, 2012 - ... Prize where is the honor in this? We have a system of bankers that is raping the world and they get more money and positions in the government. A hard working young men thats a father of 5 and his wife gets 20 years in prison for a fist fight. If there was ever a time to pray to God this is the day.

Feb 1, 2012 - I wish i knew what to do if someone we knew actually went through this. My next door neighbor and his wife both recieved 20 years from a P.G. County MD judge for being in the area of a fist fight. The young man that ended up pressing charges admitted that my neighbors wasnt involved in the actual fight but my neighbors still recieved 20 years in prison. Even if they did fight I dont know how 20 years is a justifiable punishment. We got a president that starts wars and robs daily and get a peace

May 4, 2012 - For the last time why do people not realize it's not privatization that is the problem it's the fact that the government is corrupt enough to allow the lobbyists to have such an effect on policy!!
Bouchon211 Says:
May 4, 2012 - Privatization is a good thing but lobbying should be ILLEGAL!

May 26, 2012 - What's the difference between a liberal and a criminal? Not much, they are both criminal rights advocates.
Ace1000ks1975 Says:
May 26, 2012 - What's wrong with privatizing prisons? It lowers the cost of keeping someone in jail. Besides, if you don't do anything illegal, you won't get locked up. Simple?
gonzalo sierra Says:
May 27, 2012 - well when you privatize something it turns into bussyness and like all bussynesses it must grow and serve its stock holders so more and more people must be in jail for longer time for the industry to grow with bigger costs this means society turning it on itself to put its members in jail to serve an industry
gonzalo sierra Says:
May 27, 2012 - one day everything will be privatized, water etc... and youll be served poorly in everything while costs go up cause the main reason for privatization is profits profits only gorw with poor services and slave labour with time... and poor quality products we ssem this right now, companys using slave labour costs going up and prooducts and services getting worse and worse, look how peoples dressed and what they eat and how they lived 60 years ago, nowdays we dress eat live like slaves
gonzalo sierra Says:
May 27, 2012 - nd thats not only cost people are getting colder and colder to eachother with this system people start seeing others as problem to their exisence and quality life its called human inflation, these companys can only grow as long as number people gorw on planet earth and natural resources get used and destoyed and with that people become less and less important spacially the dark races whites are less and less thats why they are more valuable
