Prisons are a growing threat
I've mentioned before how much I hate prisons.
Prison is a racket, and it's not better to do something "privately" when it's wrong to do it at all.
Even when something isn't necessarily wrong, if I don't want it, I don't want to pay for it. That's the same reason I would never voluntarily fund a private police force. You want it, YOU pay for it and leave me out of it.
Besides, how "private" is something when it can't exist without government creating a niche for it and being its only "customer"? I don't think that's "private" at all. Just fascism, cronyism, or some other form of corruption.
Anyway, Ammo.com has a very informative and infuriating look at the prison industry. It looks at even more of the incriminating factors that make prison a net negative.

Prisons are barbaric and tend to serve as a catalyst for more crime overtime.
The Justice System makes such a mockery of justice as a concept that it is no wonder people are so confused about liberty. Locking people in cages doesn't create justice for victimless crimes or provide restitution to victims of real crimes.
Punishment is about revenge, and revenge isn't justice.
I define justice as the attempt to return a victimized person to their pre-victim condition... or as close as humanly possible. And I recognize that justice is sometimes impossible. (That's why I sent a letter in support of parole for the guy whose bad choices led to the death of my daughter a little over 3 years ago. Destroying his family isn't going to bring my daughter back. It just wrecks more lives. I could go on and on.)
