This is why there should'nt be any such thing as a privately owned prison.
The corparations that own these private prisons are in it to make money not to see justice served, so be prepared to see more corruption from judges, police and the guards at such facilities cause money talks and private prisons are big money.
I think people need to think more about this issue cause the mentality that prevades in the operation of private prisons is a dangerous one where people who wind up there are seen as comodeties to be exploited not a people at all. Maybe some of them deserve a more harsh treatment, but increasingly the people who are filling our prisons are just casualties of the war on "some" drugs; harmless people whos only crime was not using alcohol to get high.
