Your point is valid, but weighed against -- Shenhoo 01/26/2021 2:04PM Nothing in the justice system should be run for-profit. The incentive in a -- Seattle .Hoo 01/26/2021 2:00PM So you're no longer for Medicaid for All, but rather Govco healthcare? -- Hoodafan 01/26/2021 2:29PM I don't understand your argument. Prisons and healthcare are two different -- Seattle .Hoo 01/26/2021 2:36PM The "should not have a profit incentive" argument has been used for both -- Hoodafan 01/26/2021 2:49PM What an airy and uninteresting observation. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 01/26/2021 2:58PM Then maybe don't play that simplistic and unsupported argument? ** -- Hoodafan 01/26/2021 3:04PM If you're going to make my arguments for me there's no need to continue -- Seattle .Hoo 01/26/2021 3:06PM "Nothing in the justice system should be run for-profit." ** -- Hoodafan 01/26/2021 3:10PM I'm not sure you need to be that simplistic, but the net effect is the same -- CMUHoo 01/26/2021 4:24PM Correct. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 01/26/2021 3:13PM I agree that reducing the prison population is the right approach... -- Slider 01/26/2021 2:06PM If private prisons are removed from service, I suspect -- TomGlansAski 01/26/2021 2:13PM Yes we'll have to pay with tax money and we'll have to engage in criminal -- Seattle .Hoo 01/26/2021 2:12PM I approve. Private prison incentives are not aligned -- HoosQ 01/26/2021 1:34PM When did outsourcing become a bad thing? I get this is a nice simplistic -- Hoodafan 01/26/2021 1:32PM Private outsourcing Musk = great & hero but prisons = bad, evil profit. ** -- ResistHoo 01/26/2021 2:28PM Thank goodness we didn't have to have a profit incentive to get vaccines. ** -- Hoodafan 01/26/2021 2:32PM That's different. ** -- ResistHoo 01/26/2021 2:38PM I agree outsourcing is not necessarily a bad thing -- BocaHoo91 01/26/2021 1:59PM I get that, but do the prisons themselves have any control over how many -- Hoodafan 01/26/2021 2:20PM Hopefully none at all, but who determines -- BocaHoo91 01/26/2021 3:36PM Yeah, I can see that implication, but there is no Fed parole, and "good -- Hoodafan 01/26/2021 3:41PM There are reports of prison staff acting to keep prisoners locked up for -- NJHoo 01/26/2021 3:30PM You forgot the link. But again I have to wonder how the prisons themselves -- Hoodafan 01/26/2021 3:36PM Sorry. Here's the link -- NJHoo 01/26/2021 4:22PM BTW that's obviously all about state prisons, which a) aren't affected by -- Hoodafan 01/26/2021 5:28PM Prisons' control of the revenue side is via lack-luster, low-cost -- HoosQ 01/26/2021 2:34PM Not to mention lobbying for harsher sentencing -- Hoobedoobedoo 01/26/2021 3:30PM On some level, yes, prisons do not make people -- Hoojack 01/26/2021 2:31PM I'll take your word for it, and can't argue against it, but do we actually -- Hoodafan 01/26/2021 2:36PM This article says as much as 20% higher -- Hoojack 01/26/2021 2:46PM It's funny, after posting that I did some very quick research on the topic -- Hoodafan 01/26/2021 2:56PM I skipped those because they didn’t support my argument:) -- Hoojack 01/26/2021 3:07PM As I quickly ended my scanning of yours when it didn't fit mine. :-) -- Hoodafan 01/26/2021 3:15PM Exactly ** -- HoosQ 01/26/2021 2:47PM If your assumptions can be met I agree.
