A particular line of questioning from Senator Kamala Harris stood out as she requested that Barr pledge to end the use of private prisons based on an Obama-era Department of Justice report that Barr had not yet read.Senator Harris's creative partisan interpretation of the report is a deeper issue of concern than the report itself.
Government contractors - such as private prisons, charter schools, and waste management services - are often vilified for factors out of their control.
Vittert asserts that the private prison industry began "Booming in the 1980s," but the partnership as we know it today came about in response to overcrowding and congressional mandates when the Bureau of Prisons in 1997 began contracting with private providers to house some of the federal inmate population.
Many retirement systems, public and private, small and large, have expansive portfolios invested in an array of companies and industries.
Again, Vittert's suggestion that a "Cycle of lobbying, donating money to campaigns, and getting more prisoners with longer sentences" is the genesis for the private prison industry as we see it today is a fallacy.
Private prisons offer the programming, training, and post-release care to reduce recidivism, better serving the men and women who are fulfilling their sentence and better serving our communities when they are released back into them, which accounts for approximately 95 percent of inmates.
As the numbers continue to roll in about degrees earned, training completed, and inmates prepared for life on the outside, I believe there's enough empirical data to suggest the competition between public and private has been good for the system overall.
