There is something fundamentally wrong with privately owned prisons. Believe it or not I became aware of this from the Netflix series Orange is the New Black which is a dark comedy about a woman that goes to prison. I quickly realized that this nightmare was a reality and not just part of a TV series. Could it just be another side effect of our bankrupt governments trying to find ways of cutting costs? Or is it even worse with governments or local officials getting part of the profits? Not saying that's the case but nothing would surprise me anymore.
