I've mentioned before how much I hate prisons.
Prison is a racket, and it's not better to do something "privately" when it's wrong to do it at all.
Even when something isn't necessarily wrong, if I don't want it, I don't want to pay for it. That's the same reason I would never voluntarily fund a private police force. You want it, YOU pay for it and leave me out of it.
Besides, how "private" is something when it can't exist without government creating a niche for it and being its only "customer"? I don't think that's "private" at all. Just fascism, cronyism, or some other form of corruption.
Anyway, Ammo.com has a very informative and infuriating look at the prison industry. It looks at even more of the incriminating factors that make prison a net negative.

Reminder: I could really use some help.
Excellent point about how even "private prisons" rely on "public government" to send them their inmates. People point to this and say "see, the free market doesn't work" . Sigh.
