The Justice Department plans to end its use of private prisons after officials concluded the facilities are both less safe and less effective at providing correctional services than those run by the government.

Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates announced the decision on Thursday in a memo that instructs officials to either decline to renew the contracts for private prison operators when they expire or “substantially reduce” the contracts’ scope. The goal, Yates wrote, is “reducing — and ultimately ending — our use of privately operated prisons.”

“They simply do not provide the same level of correctional services, programs, and resources; they do not save substantially on costs; and as noted in a recent report by the Department’s Office of Inspector General, they do not maintain the same level of safety and security,” Yates wrote.

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. Regardless if its a first time offender or they were "too young" to know better. Tell brothas to stop playing with fire aka doing dumbass ****.

-From a social stand point, excellent. There are some things the private sector should not being involved. Private companies about about making profit first and foremost, which is fine, but many time those interest don't align with what is good for the public.

-From a fiscal standpoint, good. Many times when it comes to providing a service is is much better if the government does it. Since they are generally not out to make money off of the endeavor.

Whatever missed guided public policy goal Criminal Justice reform had (people have to remember it was a much more popular policy when it passed) the way it was instituted has contributed a lot to the problems we see today. If the Federal Government had expanded to house all these non-violent crimes instead of giving money to states and private companies, which just serve as a job program for poor whites and a wealth transfer system for wealthy whites. Then a) Obama and his DOJ would have the more power themselves to tear down the entire system, b) the situation is not be as nearly bad at it is now because the biggest practices of white supremacy (especially in the criminal justice system) are at the state level not the Federal (not to let the Fed off the hook though)

I expect some underhanded back alley deal to put something in place so that the palms can continue to be greased.
 
Should have been done a long time ago. It's so obvious, but politics seems to move as slow as molasses.

I'll sit back and wait until it actually happens before I celebrate, though.

In a perfect world, when people do the crime they get the appropriate punishment. Everyone is happy and everything is right.

This is the real world, man. The justice system is not 100% correct and people get locked up wrongfully all the time. Life is not always a hard yes or no, there's degrees of grey with everything. Of course those who are guilty deserve to serve they're due time, but you cannot overlook the gross failures of the Jail system.

Love how dudes say that but if it was their mother/sister/kids getting robbed, stabbed, killed or had their identity stolen or something, they'd want the person to be fully prosecuted with the maximum penalty. :lol:
 
good...between questionable and unnecessarily long sentences for non-violent offenders, prisoner profit programs and the exploitation of the inmate population for cheap labor, the whole thing looked vaguely familiar.
