Not exactly apples to apples, though. Private contractors are providing a service. The cost-benefit analysis there is what would it cost to do it with civil servants (with corresponding benefits) versus a "pay as you go", scale up/down model that contracting affords.



No private prisons are a scam and are absolutely unnecessary. How could we as Americans be okay with that conflict of interest? They literally make more money based on how many prisoners they have and it all comes out of our pockets.

Well, it would be a problem if they wrote laws and enforced those laws. But those functions are filled by public servants.

If they were in "public" run prisons you think that would be cheaper and not cost more per prisoner?

Well since it would cost more to feed and guard 1,000 people than 100 people this is common sense.

Can private prisons arrest and jail people?
