Private prisons are operated for profit by corporations. The S.C. has ruled that the number one job of corporations is to maximize profit for shareholders. What would you do about inmates if you ran a private prison?

Cut services to inmates
Feed them cheaply.
Develop relationships with judges and pay them a "finders' fee" for every inmate they send you (it happens!)
Lobby for stiffer penalties for minor offenses
"One strike and you're out" (imprison first time offenders more often)
Lobby against leniency for marijuana offenses
Do what you can to keep cells filled (a requirement)
Raise compensation for the CEO (options and increasing stock values are important)


In short, it would be in your interest as a prison official to keep as many in prison as possible and to do what you can with law authorities and congress to make sure that happens.

IOW you have a very serious conflict of interest.

Crimes using a firearm should be punishable by death.

The US prison system is a complete failure. We might as well send our convicted felons on a paid vacation. It is time to get tough on criminals.

wow

I'm really glad you are among about 0.1% of the population.

Only 6% of the US prisons are known to be foreigners, whereas Norway's foreigner prisoners are above 35%. That is 12% of Norway's population are foreigners, but above 35% foreigners in Norway's prison population. It is primarily the Muslim immigrant population, which is responsible for the majority of the rapes.

The problem with Norway imprisoning the same (and soon to be more of) percent that the US does - is Norway's immigration continues to grow - and Norway spends 3 times as much per prisoner. The US averages $31,000 per year per prisoner, Norway averages $93,000 per year per prisoner. Norway is richer than the US per capita with its national oil, but Norway is now leasing out prison space from other countries as it can't meet its prison demands as immigration is sapping its resources.

Realllllly! How soon they all forget--to answer first the thread--No..some things do not scale up..as far as this particular post...Norway was the site of the one of the worst mass murders in recent times...committed by a right-wing terrorist who killed CHILDREN to make his point.

Perhaps a few Alt-Right types have a shrine???
