US justice department announces it will end use of private prisons

[garbon]

So other than it not saving any money and not providing better service, is there any concrete reason to get rid of private prisons?

The aqueduct? Sanitation? Roads?

I'm not sure what any of those have to do with Berkut's question. 

Oh come on. That was such an easy joke to get - particularly with Berk's post as the lead.

They've got the prison companies branching out into refugee facilities these days.

Yeah.  The only thing wrong with it was that I didn't get to post it.

Wait, you mean the private sector wasn't better than the public sector?  I am shocked, shocked.  I imagine Gary Johnson will be as well.

I doubt it. I bet he is more familiar with the drawbacks of federal contracting than someone who would say that.

Nah.  Gary Johnson thinks, for instance, that the public sector War on Drugs has been a colossal failure.  He clearly is only saying that out of ideological zealotry.

He's done quite a bit to privatize prisons in New Mexico.

I don't know anything about NM's contracting methods. I can make a very educated guess that they're better than the federal ones though.

I guess we should gear up the private sector one then

Don't we revoke membership cards for this kind of violation?
