Graeme Kiyoto-Ward commented 2016-11-26 11:26:17 +1300100% agree. The successful outcomes that society wants (lowest recidivism rate over the long term) is directly opposed to the short term profit motive of private prison operators. Essentially private prisons are for those governments that do not care about anything other than the lowest cost to store people. Overall, there’s a law and order theme and I believe that the overarching topic of law and order should be in the top 7.
