But won't it lead to overcrowded government prisons? I admit I've never been in prison but it's not hard to imagine what would happen when space becomes insufficient with too many people inside and limited resources.
The private prisons won;t even -break ground- on construction unless they;re allowed to generously overcrowd their own prisons. They actually get states to agree.in a legally binding way..to that. Whereas for the government it is a limit that when it is reached, we go to extraordinary lengths to ameliorate that problem...such as considering funding a private, for profit prison. Apparently, that money would have been better spent developing the public (which is to say government operated) prison system. A bunk is a bunk...we can build boxes too.
Tight knot, isn't it? lol.
