Private Prison Complex receives terrible news.

The Justice Department plans to end its use of private prisons after officials concluded the facilities are both less safe and less effective at providing correctional services than those run by the government.

I see. 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.

I'd say we can address that issue by not locking up people for "crimes" that don't warrant being locked up for - an d applying those standards to people regardless of the hue of their skin.
