Privatizing prisons

Establishing private correctional facilities

Description

Privatizing prisons involves transferring the management and operation of correctional facilities from government agencies to private companies. This strategy aims to address issues such as overcrowding, inefficiency, and high public expenditure by leveraging private sector resources, innovation, and cost-control measures. The practical intent is to improve prison conditions, reduce operational costs, and increase accountability through performance-based contracts, while maintaining security and rehabilitation standards set by public authorities.
