>The Justice Department plans to end its use of private prisons after officials concluded the facilities are both less safe and less effective at providing correctional services than those run by the government.
>Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates announced the decision on Thursday in a memo that instructs officials to either decline to renew the contracts for private prison operators when they expire or “substantially reduce” the contracts’ scope. The goal, Yates wrote, is “reducing — and ultimately ending — our use of privately operated prisons.”
>“They simply do not provide the same level of correctional services, programs, and resources; they do not save substantially on costs; and as noted in a recent report by the Department’s Office of Inspector General, they do not maintain the same level of safety and security,” Yates wrote.

It doesn't include state private prisons, but it's a step in the right direction.
Who the fuck would have thought the profit motive was a bad idea to mix with prison? Shocking.
Too bad many Americans are fine with the state of our prison system. It only happens to ''''bad'''' people, so it's fine that they are hell holes run by gangs.

Socialized health care should only be for citizens or immigrants that have legally been in the host country for more then 5 years and pay into it otherwise the parasites will destroy the host.

Many Americans are naive about what actually happens in America. If there was some kind of culture that actually relished the idea of reading anything , they would care more, but they don't, so they don't.

Fucking hate this all too common attitude. People don't even care about the rampant rape and violence that happen in prisons because "they deserve it"
It pisses me off to no end
