There's zero evidence to suggest that private prisons are any better than state or federal prisons

There's some evidence in the UK that private prisons are indeed better, but other evidence I've seen kind of suggests that "study" is bullshit.

The incentives are all wrong in this instance; it makes no sense. Why the fuck would anybody think profiting off people's imprisonment is a beneficial economic phenomenon? It's like profiting off the ownership of individuals, and we all know how that turned out.

Dude, if there's money to be made regardless of how morally reprehensible it may be, you're guaranteed to find someone trying to exploit it.

It's a beneficial economic phenomenon to anyone who has a penchant for greed.

I'm talking about policy makers; "good idea" is supposed to refer to the net benefit to society as a whole, not if some CEO can line his pockets on the basis of other people's misery.

You've started the presupposition that all policy makers are good ones, and that's just simply not the case. Human nature finds a way.

Not really, I've already identified they're ridiculously stupid. I just wonder how they can be so fucking stupid.

Human stupidity knows no bounds.
