Great. This was used to separate people from their families which increases recidivism.
You'd think that competition would foster better correction facilities, but as with big pharma, being effective is counterproductive because it hinders growth, which is at the core of capitalism.
Not saying competition is bad, only that it's maybe not universally applicable to all areas.
Why would you think that? It's not like consumers get to pick their prisons.
However, I am actually making the point against that. Privatization of that area makes no sense at all. I might have phrased that in a way that works against the central point of my argument, but the idea is that no, there is no competition that could possibly justify privatizing the corrections sector.
