Why prison privatization sucks

And not just for the prisoners. Metajournalism explains:

… Needless to say, the conditions were horrendous, and though not all of the above were caused by prison privatization, they were all exacerbated by the trend, as companies cut back on expenditures in their efforts to save money.

But we won't pay for this now. The cost to society has been put off, postponed for another ten years or so, when masses of prison inmates will be released after they've finished their sentences. Many of them, nonviolent and violent, will have received no measure of rehabilitation, and in fact will be more hardened than when they went in.
