  • "Private prison run by the Corrections Corporation of America". Let us think this through. Is it really all that good an idea to have prisons run by people who have a FINANCIAL INVESTMENT in keeping as many people as possible in prison for as long as possible?
  • I don't believe the prisons set the sentence, but the courts
  • The state prison guards, and their union, the California Correctional Peace Officers Assn, also have a financial interest in keeping as many people as possible in prison for as long as possible. Either way, private or government run, the people operating the prisons have a financial interest in staying fully employed.
