New Ways Private Prisons Are Making Billions | System Error
In January 2021, US President Biden signed an executive order ending federal contracts with private prison companies. But did it go far enough?
A year on, the companies have already found loopholes.
Private prisons have been proven to be less safe for inmates and staff, and have higher rates of violence.
But the companies have read the tea leaves and have expanded into new profit areas. Will there be a repeat of their desire to put profits over people?

Who Makes Money From Private Prisons?
Private prisons were established during the war on drug and tough on crimes era when the US was incarcerating more people than ever. Since their establishment, activists and politicians have debated whether they should exist to begin with. Some argued they didn’t save the government the projected 20% nor were they of better quality. But they continued to grow into a billion dollar industry. Today the industry is largely dominated by two companies, geo group and CoreCivic. But in 2019, the two companies have had a tough year. From Families Belong Together protests that lead to Wall Street divesting to Democratic candidates saying that they will abolish the industry, if elected. After three decades of arguing it is morally wrong to profit from incarceration and detention, activists say this ...

Part 1: "My Four Months as a Private Prison Guard": Shane Bauer Goes Undercover to Expose Conditions
http://democracynow.org - Between 2009 and 2011, Shane Bauer spent nearly two years locked up in an Iranian prison as one of the jailed American hikers. Last year, he went back to jail—this time as an undercover journalist working as a guard at a private prison in Louisiana. In a stunning new exposé for Mother Jones, Bauer chronicles the four months he spent undercover last year as a guard at Louisiana’s Winn Correctional Facility. Winn is the oldest privately operated medium-security prison in the country and sits in the state that holds the distinction as having the world’s highest incarceration rate—more than 800 prisoners per 100,000 residents. During Bauer’s investigation, Winn was run by the Corrections Corporation of America, the nation’s second-largest private prison operator. Baue...

Why The US Prison System Is The Worst In The Developed World
The US incarcerates more people - both per capita and by sheer numbers - than any other nation on earth. Our prisons are inhumane hellholes, and private prisons are making a killing. Let's talk about our horrendous prison system and look at some much better justice systems in other countries.

The Newsmakers: US Private Prisons
The United States is set to phase out the use of private for-profit prisons in its federal system. It says the prisons don't save a substantial amount, and safety standards are lower. It's been welcomed by activists who say getting profit from incarceration is fundamentally flawed. But this affects just a fraction of the nation's prisons. So how much impact will this really have? Yvette McCullough reports.

Private prisons help with overcrowding, but at what cost?
The Obama administration last year announced it would phase out privately-run prisons, citing little benefits to public safety along with higher rates of assault and violence. The Trump administration reversed that decision while pointing to potential increases in crime and issues of overcrowding, resurfacing a debate about which strategy is better. NewsHour Weekend's Ivette Feliciano reports.

In January 2021, US President Biden signed an executive order ending federal contracts with private prison companies. But did it go far enough?
A year on, the companies have already found loopholes.
Private prisons have been proven to be less safe for inmates and staff, and have higher rates of violence.
But the companies have read the tea leaves and have expanded into new profit areas. Will there be a repeat of their desire to put profits over people?

Private prisons were established during the war on drug and tough on crimes era when the US was incarcerating more people than ever. Since their establishment, activists and politicians have debated whether they should exist to begin with. Some argued they didn’t save the government the projected 20% nor were they of better quality. But they continued to grow into a billion dollar industry. Today the industry is largely dominated by two companies, geo group and CoreCivic. But in 2019, the two companies have had a tough year. From Families Belong Together protests that lead to Wall Street divesting to Democratic candidates saying that they will abolish the industry, if elected. After three decades of arguing it is morally wrong to profit from incarceration and detention, activists say this could be the beginning of the end for these companies.
CORRECTION (Dec. 29, 2019): At 2:30 we misstated the operating costs of state and federal prisons. The costs (as shown on screen) are billions, not millions of dollars.

http://democracynow.org - Between 2009 and 2011, Shane Bauer spent nearly two years locked up in an Iranian prison as one of the jailed American hikers. Last year, he went back to jail—this time as an undercover journalist working as a guard at a private prison in Louisiana. In a stunning new exposé for Mother Jones, Bauer chronicles the four months he spent undercover last year as a guard at Louisiana’s Winn Correctional Facility. Winn is the oldest privately operated medium-security prison in the country and sits in the state that holds the distinction as having the world’s highest incarceration rate—more than 800 prisoners per 100,000 residents. During Bauer’s investigation, Winn was run by the Corrections Corporation of America, the nation’s second-largest private prison operator. Bauer’s story offers a never-before-seen look at the for-profit prison industry, exposing conditions that include violence among inmates, poor medical and mental healthcare for even the sickest prisoners, mismanagement and lack of training for staff.

The US incarcerates more people - both per capita and by sheer numbers - than any other nation on earth. Our prisons are inhumane hellholes, and private prisons are making a killing. Let's talk about our horrendous prison system and look at some much better justice systems in other countries.

The United States is set to phase out the use of private for-profit prisons in its federal system. It says the prisons don't save a substantial amount, and safety standards are lower. It's been welcomed by activists who say getting profit from incarceration is fundamentally flawed. But this affects just a fraction of the nation's prisons. So how much impact will this really have? Yvette McCullough reports.

The Obama administration last year announced it would phase out privately-run prisons, citing little benefits to public safety along with higher rates of assault and violence. The Trump administration reversed that decision while pointing to potential increases in crime and issues of overcrowding, resurfacing a debate about which strategy is better. NewsHour Weekend's Ivette Feliciano reports.
