Societies that privatize their correction system leading to inmates being raw material for generating profits, are in my eyes not allowed to carry the name 'society' (coming from latin socius = companion or fellow)[0] anymore.
They are not fellows who correct and punish, they are slavers, outsourcing slavery for generating tax revenue and private revenue alike.
I totally cannot understand any rationale behind a privatization of prisons, as it totally runs contrary to what society should want to get out of a prison system (rehabilitation, correcting wrong behavior, punishment).
I know, I might sound harsh, but I really have no idea how a society can want a system like this, that extorts prisoners for privatized gains.
