Explain to me how privatizing prisons is a good way to save money?
Privatizing is a stupid idea. Its just a money scam for neo con middle men. The tax payer saves nothing and the employees get s&*+ wages. Please no this is stupid.

Here is a report from Alabama that was created to evaluate the options they had for their growing prison problems. The pros and cons of private prisons was assessed in the report.
There is also simply using google to do some searching yourself.
As for what is best? /shrug
They do bring up some interesting points about things.
also, privatization is not something that is new, we have been privatizing many correctional institutions since the 1980's.
So it isn't something that hasn't been done. I imagine if you were interested, you could answer your own question, or at the least come to an informed opinion on the issue.

It's a conservative idea which usually coincides with being stupid.
Privatizing prisons? Haha where have you been A HUGE section of the US prison system is already privatized. Ever hear of Wackenhutt services? The US imprisons more people than any other country in the world. And you wanna know why? Our government fascists use prison labor for private corporations. There was a huge story about this on the news. Not only that prisoners in the USA have been exposed to carcinogens without being given the right protective gear for example when they were used to take apart computers for US companies. There was a huge lawsuit regarding this. This is just another huge glarying example regarding the tax paying US American citizen doling out corporate welfare.

No it's a conservative idea that usually coincides with corporate welfare and the funding of private corporations with tax payer money. Yet the right wing whackjobs will lament all day about those poor welfare moms and food stamp users. The left is about big social welfare and the right is about big corporate welfare. And those of us in the middle that still have our sanity left are stuck footing the bill for both. America is a pathetic joke! Nothing but a fascist government puppeted and controlled by plutocratic corporatists adn the idiocracy of the US populace that supports both. Land of the Free? Yeah right land of the dumb and ignorant! It amazes me just how clueless and brainwashed the average American is.
Private prisons make campaign contributions, therefore politicians don't have to raise as much from other donors. So it DOES save money for politicians, even if it costs the taxpayers more.

Don't forget control freakishness.
Some would opt to be volunteer security guards.
