Hi Sue
This wonderful cost-benefit solution doesn't seem to work so well. This
article appears to support the contention of some that there are some
areas that for-profit organizations will cause more problems than they
solve in the short-term. The issues of possible abuse have been raised
since this solution was first proposed, but saving a buck (or so it
appeared) became the criteria for deciding the private prision was the
way to go. Of course, they are only inmates, so that's ok <TIC>
