In its simplest form, a private or for-profit prison is a place where individuals are incarcerated by a third party, who is contracted by a government agency. Private prisons have been nicknamed “dollar dungeons” (Yeoman). Typically, governments enter into contractual agreements with private prisons that require a monthly fee for each inmate in the facility. Companies like Nashville-based Corrections Corporation of America, along with its competitor, GEO Group, lure government officials with lower rates and a worry-free solution. Private prisons are sold as an easy solution for a growing prison population. Private prisons are known to have high occupancy rates, commonly as high as the 90th percentile, or governments are forced to pay large fines. Private prisons encourage needless embodiment for victimless crimes; as well as robbing humanity of progressive ideals such as drug legalization and the rehabilitation of criminals over incarnation. Companies like Corrections Corporation of America and GEO Group are selling their services as a worry-free solution to managing incarcerated populations, saving money in the process. . Some of the tactics used by private prisons to save money are understaffing, not training staff, lax security measures, and even allowing cable TV instead of hiring more guards. These tactics don't work, as researchers from the U.S. General Accounting Office show that "no substantial evidence has been found" to prove that for-profit prisons conserve taxpayer dollars. In Arizona, prisons were privatized with one stipulation; must save money. State data contradicted the idea, with the cost per inmate in private prisons running as high as sixteen hundred dollars more per day, or three and a half million…half the paper…benefit. from abuse of the system. In government prisons there is no incentive to hold inmates longer than necessary. As a result, private prisons have a great incentive to embody people for as long as possible, since the inmate can be exploited for cheap labor. Prisoners are treated with little to no care and are not rehabilitated to social standards before returning to society, greatly increasing their chances of committing crimes again. Workers in the prison sector will be employed at the absolute minimum and will be trained to a lower level, or not at all. Because the guards are not properly trained, prisoners are able to escape much more easily, creating more chaos in the cities around them. The only real beneficiaries of the private prison system are the prison owners and the politicians who are supported by the prison owners.
