Do some research on private prisons and then let me know if you still think they are a good idea.
I don't have to. When the Episcopal Church and United Methodist Church came out against private prisons, I knew they were a good thing. UMC is on the wrong side of everything when it comes to social/political issues: Crime control, criminal justice reform, concealed carry, self defense, etc.
My S-I-L works in a Private Prison that houses Illegal Aliens.
The Warden previously ran a Federal Maximum Security Prison and came out of retirement to take the position.
The only difference is the Employees are not members of a Public Service Union making Top Dollar Salaries and Pensions.
I guess “for profit” Healthcare should be banned as well.
