"Somebody's go' win.
"Somebody's go' win. Somebody's go' lose. They both might lose, but hey, did you do your job? Hell yeah!" The classroom erupts in laughter.
We could try to break up a fight if we wanted, he says, but since we won't have pepper spray or a nightstick, he wouldn't recommend it. "We are not going to pay you that much," he says emphatically. "The next raise you get is not going to be much more than the one you got last time. The only thing that's important to us is that we go home at the end of the day. Period. So if them fools want to cut each other, well, happy cutting."
Lidt mere let sommerferielæsning.
Private prisons are shrouded in secrecy. I took a job as a guard to get inside?then things got crazy

Fængsler er ikke lige stedet, hvor profitmotivet skal i fokus.
Optræning til recidivitet øger indtægterne.
Netop
Bwaha! Virkelig sjove kommentarer. En af mine gamle favoritter: privat fængselsvæsen lobbyer/pengebegaver politikere til at vedtage længere fængselsstraffe for flere ting. Three strikes er selvfølgelig jackpot. Livstidskunder: http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2011/06/23/251363/cca-geogroup-prison-industry/ ⟲
Så fik jeg læst det hele, uha det' nasty! Men solid research må man sige.
Fantastisk old skool journalistik. Sådan noget, der burde give rigtigt mænd m/k lyst til at rydde op i deres samfund. Og, oh, uden at spolere det for andre, tænk at have brug for lægehjælp sådan et sted. Og oh, tænk på den modsætning der er i at kriminalitet koster samfundet masser af penge, men fængselsvæsenet tjener kun penge på kriminalitet. Det giver virkelig et modsætningsforhold som ikke engang yderligere privatisering, resultatkontrakter eller New Public Management kan løse.
"Et besøg i svedehytten" er et godt sted at begynde, hvis man vil følge en intelligent indsat i stedet for en intelligent fangevogter: https://theintercept.com/2015/07/16/barrett-brown-review-prison/ ⟲ , en del af overvældende https://freebarrettbrown.org/writings/ ⟲
Regningen for klasse-journalistikken er nu opgjort på Mother Jones: http://www.motherjones.com/media/2016/08/whats-missing-from-journalism ⟲
Effekten har sikkert også været der. Artiklen bidrog ganske sikkert til en holdningsændring https://thinkprogress.org/https-thinkprogress-org-justice-department-abandon-private-prisons-e53f96a9bf90#.p66m2lg28 ⟲

Steven Snedker YES! The memo directs department officials not to renew existing contracts or to "substantially reduce" their scope, with the goal of "reducing—and ultimately ending—our use of privately operated prisons."
On the federal level I guess...
Peter Lyberth - But Yates’ action isn’t the only important part of the federal government ending the practice of outsourcing prisons to corporations. Her damning assessment of the private prison industry on behalf of Obama’s Justice Department will serve as factual evidence for state-level political activists seeking to end the practice forever.

Yeah, but nothing will be forced on the states. It has to be driven by activists...
Oligarkerne kæmper stadig for private fængsler.
