I liked this article a lot because it spoke a lot of truth and showed a lot of statistics. My favorite line from this article was probably that one that said we use incarceration as a one shoe fits all kind to answer all of our problems, when in fact we could save money and do something else with the person. Why not send them to rehab? But I did like they idea of teaching the inmates some construction and other trade skills while incarcerated. It make sense to do that so that they can be able to find a job afterwards and not return back to the prison. I know most offenders are repeat offenders but if they have something to keep the occupied after incarceration, they might just be able to live a good life instead of a life of crime. And just looking at the example of a woman's prison and seeing how it worked for them shows its results. ICCRunner789
I agree with you, why would they take a one size fits all approach when everyone is different? I think it would be beneficial to have mental health, rehab, educational, and job skill facilities so that it could help rehabilitate the inmate and in turn maybe lower the recidivism numbers as well. Birdman789
I do agree, in this day and age the knowledge that we hold tells us that it is not right to do the one size fits all approach anymore. The human condition is very unique and what causes a person to do a certain act will be different that someone who does the just because. We are starting to show more understanding and sympathy with those that are incarcerated or awaiting trial. There is at least some form of learning via trade teaching going on. This will only further propel the facility to change as the other prisons change.
I agree with you, The statistics make it easier to really see what they are talking about. 3,000 dollars profit for each person is a crazy amount. We should be using that money for important stuff like fixing our broken justice system or health care or education and not in the pockets of the rich. Godzilla789
I was surprised to see the profit these correction companies bring in; they take in millions of dollars for themselves when it could be used on real facilities to help the prisoners. Instead of having a computer room that has two working computers with so many keys missing that it looks like an NHL player’s smile it could actually go to funding these programs and make them better. What I also got from this is that they are neglecting the mental health programs that inmates could benefit from, instead of the cost efficient, cookie cutter, approach the inmates could be treated as individuals and receive the proper care that they need. I did like to read that there was mention of working in a trade because it could be beneficial to the person after their incarceration. They could learn the valuable work skills while they are incarcerated and when they get out then they have a skill set that they can use when looking for employment. Birdman789
It is disappointing when we hear instances like these. What shocks me further is that it seems that for-profit supporters don’t mind that prisoners are fed less, sexually assaulted more, and have a filling rate. This means that most these prisons are filled to a ninety percent capacity, which in turn will probably mean that those with misdemeanors and smaller offenses are the ones to help push this rate up to their goal. Another thing I just came across is that roughly fifty percent of detained undocumented immigrants are held in private prisons. ICE, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, have gotten stricter with their goals and now they are relying on private prisons as well. - StrongArm789
The most disturbing information mentioned in this article is that, ‘between 25-40% of all mentally ill Americans will be jailed or incarcerated at some point in their lives.’ This is a staggering amount of individuals who may be locked up simply based off of their mental capacity to process what they are doing at the time of an arrest. Privatizing the prison corporations, such as CCA, may be a horrible idea in the long-term of this issue. Inmates aren’t meant to be used as stocks, gains or dividends, but what they are to be given is a degree of human value. Dignity. Some are arrested because they committed crimes, others are there because maybe they killed the stalker/molester of their own child. How can anyone put a price on that? When you have investors, such as Michael Jordan, using them as their own private equity you let go of any means to ‘let your conscience be your guide.’ Now every time I see a pair of Jordan’s all I’ll see is the outline of a chalk figure you’d see at a crime scene; rather than the ‘jumpman’ logo, I’ll call it the ‘he jumped man’ logo. Over 3.5 million in profit last year was not used in any way to utilize the bettering of minorities or mentally-handicapped prisoners, it was pocketed. Washington state, a place I’d love to call home one day, has done what should lead as an example to the other states. Their TRAC program seems like a wonderful idea in one of their two women’s prisons. Washington state has twelve prisons total and initiating a reentry program for the mentally ill is already proving cost effective. My rant is that if you are going to lack a resource for conservation by just wanting to line your pocketbook, then you are no better than a hidden hitman, waiting to benefit off the unfortunate. Pay it forward, not back. - StrongArm789
I totally agree with everything you just said. It is disturbing to think that 25-40% of mental ill people will be arrested or jailed at some point in their lives. It is sad to think that we live in a society that does this to the people who don't need to be involved in the corrections system. I really like your point about michael jordan and the jumpman logo. I agree that some money should be reinvested back into the prison to benefit the people in there and prevent them from coming back again.
The numbers do not lie, the amount of profit the two prisons made was astonishing. I do understand these are large industries and act as a business, but is $361 million being used for these two giant prisons? I doubt it, when we are struggling with overcrowding, underfunding, as well as rehab programs, the question I have is what are they doing with all this money? I did like the teaching of a trade such as construction, because that is a job market, which will hire an ex-con with little to no issues. The teaching of a trade will empower certain people to feel like they have a purpose in life, which will help them not recidivate. The one size fits all act is theoretically correct, it makes sense if we are trying to be EQUAL, but that's not our stance for equal punishment equal time. Instead we are looking at treatment and circumstances. People incarcerated and awaiting trial come from all walks of life with different salaries and their own personal struggles that would allow them to commit a crime. With that in mind, we cannot treat them all the same, because lets face it people are not all the same. I am not advocating no time in prison, but a fair time in prison based off of the facts.
I thought the information in this article was interesting yet disturbing. These corporations are making millions of dollars off peoples mistakes. $3,300 profited per person incarcerated is just terrible, but the worst part is that this money being made is not going back into the prison itself. The money is being pocketed by greedy businessmen who don't care about crime and recidivism rates. This money could go into giving the inmates with mental health problems (which is a large amount of them) the help they need. I hope in the future, the private prisons will reinvest a large portion of their profits back into the prison and care more about the people inside of it.
I absolutely agree with your whole post. It disgusts me that people care so little about others. Although some people who get incarcerated are bad people, not all of them are. I cannot understand how someone could possibly be happy profiting off of the criminal justice system rather than FIXING it. I would much rather be known for turning around the crime rates, than for making a bunch of money off a private prison that was ran like crap, with hardly any programs to discourage them from recidivism. Cards789
I agree with you on them putting the money back into the prison. They need to quit thinking about making money and more about helping people get their life back on track. They could use the money to teach the prisoners trade for when they get out or for rehabilitation programs that would be benefit the prisoners. All they care about is money which is sad. dragons789
I believe you hit the nail on this one. The money would be much better spent elsewhere. The corporations are making insane profits off of individuals that made some bad decisions. The money could be spent reducing recidivism like you stated, which would save us a lot of time re-incarcerating people over and over again. I also agree that part of the profits need to be used on the prison and its infrastructure or given to the government to be dictated with as they see fit.
This article says it the best. "Our criminal justice system is badly broken". I couldn't agree more with that statement. The fact that these private prison executives and shareholders are making ridiculous amounts of money is ridiculous. It just goes to show you really how messed up it is. The article was talking about how there are many different problems like health care and education and how we could be using that money towards those programs instead of lining the pockets of the rich. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer and out justice system just gets worse and worse. Our justice system is a one size fits all type of system which is just awful one size fits all never works. Godzilla789
Like many of the articles that get assigned for the blog, I enjoyed reading this one. I did not enjoy the information within it, in fact, I was quite put off by it, but I am glad I had the opportunity to be educated about it. Unfortunately, this is probably not the only prison or jail that is profiting off of their system, rather than making it better. I think it is appalling that CCA and GEO made over $2,000 off of each incarcerated person, with a combined grand total of $361 million in profit. That is absolutely ridiculous. How nice it must be to have all of that money, but YOU FORGOT ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF YOUR JOB. When people sign on to be involved IN ANY WAY in the criminal justice system, I believe that at that point, they should be more worried about deterring crime and decreasing crime rates than about how much money they can make off of the people they are incarcerating. Unfortunately, we live in the real world, where people are influenced by money and greed and tend to be more selfish than selfless. It bothers me that only 13% of the U.S. population is African American, but that 37% of prisoners are African American. THIS CLEARLY SHOWS HUGE DISPARITY that is disturbing to me. Also, it is sad that there are 83% of prisoners with a mental illness who have NO ACCESS to treatment. Based on the many issues within the criminal justice system, I would like to think that private prisons should either be shut down or used as a last resort. If they are only going to spend the money they make on themselves and building a bigger personal empire, then they do not belong in the criminal justice system at all in my opinion. The money that is made needs to be spent on improving the system, instead of just paying private people and shareholders, which has no benefit to the system whatsoever. Cards789
The amount of money the private prisons is making is shocking. They are making millions of dollars a year by people making mistakes. They are making all this money yet none of it is going towards rehabilitation. They just pocket all of the money for themselves becuase if they do rehabilitation programs then most of the prisoners won't return and they will start losing money. If they would put the money back into the prison they could make a big impact on people lives and help them stay out of trouble. They could created programs that teach people a trade so they can get a job when they get out and become an effective citizen. The business men need to think more about helping people out by staying out of trouble instead of how much money they will make off of keeping people incarcerated. I hope in the future they will realize what is more important and will start helping the people while they are in prison instead of justing thinking about making money. dragons789
Yep. I was floored by the amount of cash these places are raking in also. I concur with your assessment of why they don't provide any rehabilitation. I wonder if they ever became business men to help there community? probably not! Dollars to donuts they don't even live in the community the private prison operates in. This will never change unless the government steps in and insists on some guidelines or an accreditation process. Doberman789
I had no clue that the private prison industry was so prosperous. The average profit for each inmate is staggering to say the least, three thousand and two thousand dollar profit margins for each inmate is enormous. The author of this article points out that our money still goes towards the operation of these prisons. If we think about it, the corporations that run these prisons are doing very little to produce an expense. Yes they have to pay to house the individuals and offer some sparse benefits, but their operational costs are surely much lower than many other corporations around the globe. The corporations often offer less benefits and programs that are accreditation with the decline in recidivism. They often offer little educational opportunities or the likes thereof. It is also important to mention the authors feelings of the privatization of correctional facilities. He believes that the money can be used elsewhere to support the criminal justice system or other systems. I believe the corporations should pay higher taxes or hand over earnings they do not need. Maybe set a limit of one thousand dollars per inmate and the rest goes to education or government supported organizations to supply our society with the things we need most, like infrastructure, education, and similar initiatives. The profit for each inmate would still be great enough to supply the corporate big wigs with the money they desire while supplementing other initiatives the government can come up with.
I cannot believe these private companies are making so much money. This sort of makes me angry. Making so much money but yet our prison and jail systems are not what they should be. I agree we need to put more money into mental health treatments. Mental health is one of the biggest issues I think right now in America. We have all these people who are being locked up for "crimes' but they wouldn't even be doing half of these things if they were being treated in the first place. There is just no services for people with mental health issues. Really if you think about it they shut down a lot of the state facilities in the late 80's or even really before that and most of those people were just thrown back out into society. Our justice system needs a make over. We need to think about ways we can actually benefit the prisoners, not just lock them up and make then rot and think about what they did for the rest of their lives. We need more money put into job training and things that will help them when they do get out back into the real world, because if not it's just going to be a repeat lifestyle and that's not what we want. -dicaprio789
After reading this article I am further convinced nothing good can come out of privatizing prisons. So they don't even have to provide any rehab programs? Money saver there. If I remember correctly. They only have to provide the minimum services stated by 'higher ups'. Cutting corners can lead to increase physical and mental health issues when inmates are incarcerated for a certain amount of days. $361! thats it! I'm going to buy some property and put me up a private prison. I know, it's not that easy. You got to spend money to make money. BUT I bet with that kind of dough you could grease the correct palms to get this project off the ground. In our city about 10-13 years ago we closed our only 'mental health facility' in a long way from any others. Those folks were just put in prison. Seriously, now with the budget in the whole for two years there is less places for people with mental health or substance abuse disorders. Our prisons are just going to become more overcrowded. I bet these private prisons feed off this kind of population. I would like to address the issue in this article for 'high correctional officer turnover'. There is not a infinite amount of qualified individuals for this job. Any job for that matter. So if there is a turnover and you need bodies you are going to pull your human resources from less desirable places. Which in turn makes the care and function of the prison deteriorate. $2,135 and $3,356 Someone needs to trace this cord back to the wall and see which institutions these prisoners are coming from. Someone is benefitting financially for keeping these inmates as inmates. How many jobs do private prisons provide the community with? Are they really not mandated to provide services outside of basic human necessities? If your going to lock me up, lock me up in a Prison. Not a jail and sure the hell not a private prison!
