Prisons, Privatization, And Public Values *
Stephen McFarland
Chris McGowan 
Tom O'Toole
Presented to Prof. Mildred Warner 
Privatization and Devolution CRP 612 
December 2002

Introduction to Prison Privatization

Quote:
The movement towards the privatization of corrections in the
United States is a result of the convergence of two factors:
the unprecedented growth of the US prison population since 1970
and the emergence out of the Reagan era of a political environment
favorable to free-market solutions.


Since the first private prison facility was opened in 1984, the industry has grown rapidly;
gross revenues exceeded $1 billion in 1997. This paper will examine the industry's growth
in the US in recent decades, and its current scope. The evidence for and against
claims that private prisons can realize gains in efficiency will be weighed,
and implications of privatization for other public values including safety, justice, and legitimacy will be examined.
<snip>
A note in passing: The GEO Corporation used to be named the "Wackenhut Corrections Corporation"
Sounds a bit like McCain's "Wack-A-Mole" theory of war.

Ha ha, I get it, not everybody's cup of tea.

from here.

Sorry, no sources were given, outside of CDC&P.

I'm not sure whether the first chart is % of drinkers that binge, or % of population that binges.

That must be your daily breakfast, since you're always funny.

I am the 83%.

One drink is enough to make me feel it; two, and I am noticeably drunk. I have a drink every month or two, that's it.

Apples and oranges again. If they don't want to count Gulf of Mexico oil then they are not serious. But also, they are counting the entire British invasion which certainly does not represent music production in the States. I'd like to see this chart again WITH Gulf and Alaskan oil and WITHOUT the Beatles, Zep, and Stones. Thank you.

UT, that's just being picky

If we want more oil, this proves we only need to produce more musicians.

Drum, Baby, Drum !
