The same as private universities, private health care, private banks, private (as in capitalism-driven) politics. Some of which are way worse on a national scale than private prisons imo.

    Again, I'm European so I can't be sure about this, but I think some of those issues are worse because of the scale, not the thing itself. The entire healthcare system is private—if all prisons were too, I think that would be much worse than the healthcare situation.

    As for politicians, up until this election cycle, they at least had the decency to pretend. From now on, we'll see what happens.
