the government forces us to pay for imprisonment
that's not privatized
because these private prison companies are the ones paying the lower level officials off
the whole chain has to be private or none of it is
and the feds pay the companies back
privatize the government
otherwise it's just a joke to say it's private
prisons should not be privatized
end of
then deal with what you have
there should be a federal standard for prisons to be held to
by the actual government itself
by the corrupt government
with unjust laws
and bribed polititians
and cops you believe kill unjustly
which you can't stop funding
and if you're using precious tax dollars to jail people judges would be less likely to jail non violent criminals and drug users which pose no threat on society
what precious tax dollars
the federal budget
the government is trillions of dollars in debt
it doesn't just stop imprisoning people because taxes won't cover it
it just borrows
and further inflates the currency
if the government was limited by taxes, we wouldn't have had the iraq war
we wouldn't have debt
governments spend more than they take in taxes
and politicians base their decisions on the money they receive in lobbying
if a business acted the way governments do, it would've been sued into bankrupty, and boycotted
fraud
if you want a prison system that only imprisons people who initiate force or violate property crimes
violent criminals and thieves
you have that with full privatization
meaning, throughout the entire system
police, judges, courts, prisons
if people were sent a bill for what laws they wanted to enforce
i think people would mostly want to enforce laws against violent crimes
and would be less inclined to pay for the imprisonment of non-violent people if they could save the money instead
and if people thought particular judges and cops were corrupt, they could boycott them
they would likely just be fired, or change their behavior
