Good. Build cheap federal prisons.

NO GOOD ever comes of the feds colluding with private enterprise when the feds provide the product, in this case prisoners.

I wouldn’t like it with dems, don’t like it now.

It reeks of crony capitalism.

Let’s not do the double standard thing now.

Guarantee in five or so years we’ll read about politicians pocketing huge sums that are somehow related to the private prisons.

Cheap federal prisons.

Ever hear of Fed Ex? UPS? Private business doing government work better and cheaper. Private prisons are no different.

From my experience working for a public employees union in CA, the opposition to private prisons came from the prison guards union. Any law in CA regarding prisoners came from them. A beginner would make 100K a year and they had massive benefits and pensions. When I left five years ago the price of one prisoner was 46K per year, the same amount a family of four had to hit to be in a top tax bracket. Taxpayers had to pay top notch healthcare for the prisoners including things some people are morally opposed to.
so do you wonder why a lot of taxpayers prefer private prisons?

Don’t fight the fed. Learn to profit from them. I have owned GEO and CXW from time to time. Always made money. Just pick your price points.
