If this is a legitimate question, it boils down to private prisons being less secure than their public counterparts, and more poorly run. More contraband is brought in, more assaults happen, and the prisoners get treated worse.

How can the private sector possibly run something worse than the US government?

On a more philosophical note, privatizing prisons creates a perverse economic incentive to keep as many people in jail as possible. There have been a couple scandals over the years where judges have got caught taking kickbacks in exchange for handing out harsher sentences to send people to private prisons. Those are just the ones that were dumb enough to be obvious about it, too, we don't know how many other cases have been influenced more subtly.

Because government prisons at least attempt to do their job, while private prisons attempt to avoid their job as much as possible while pocketing the difference.

Money.

Simply put, they are given a certain amount of money and whatever they don't spend goes in their own pockets.

So of course they cut everything to minimum and soaked up the Au Jus.

Are you braindead

It has nothing to do with "poor prisoners"

It has to do with judges giving a kid who shoplifted 10 years in prison so he kills himself because the judge got a kickback from PRISONPLEX LLC
