Should Not Privatize Prisons

Should Not Privatize Prisons
The debate as to whether prisons should be privatized has attracted the attention of
different stakeholders in recent years. Proponents of privatizing these institutions claim that the
move will help improve the conditions of these institutions. However, the opponents argue that
the move will lead to exploitation. As the debate continues, it is true that privatizing Prison will
be a wrong move with devastating consequences.
Prisons should not be privatized because punishing criminal activity should not be a
profitable business. It is not the place of private prisons to administer punishments. The State or
government that imprisons people decides who a prisoner is, so they should remain responsible
for the inmates until rehabilitated. It is wrong to put a private company whose primary objective
is to make a profit that makes a profit off a being in charge of prison operations because their
concern will be to make a profit and not to rehabilitate. The goal is profit, not punishment or
rehabilitation. Private prisons that cut costs may risk security problems because cutting costs
often means cutting corners. I think private prisons are wrong, but.
There are concerns that when Prison is placed in private individuals’ hands, their goal will
be to make profits. This will lead to poor treatment of prisoners. Will Prison should not be
privatized because the path to profit is to mistreat human beings. Prisons are based on two
things; custody and care. There is the likelihood that when prisons are privatized, the owners will
cut costs to maximize profit, reducing the quality of care in these institutions. No one wants to
cut corners on the custody aspects of Prison. Care is the only part of a budget that has room to be
missed. “One-way for-profit prisons to minimize costs is by skimping on provisions, including
food. An investigation conducted by a psychiatrist in a privately run prison in Mississippi found
that the inmates were severely underfed and looked “almost emaciated”. The psychiatrist

reported that during their incarceration, the prisoners lost between 10 to 60 pounds. “ A
psychiatrist who investigated a privately run prison in Mississippi found that the inmates were
severely underfed and looked “almost emaciated.” During their incarceration, prisoners lost
anywhere from 10 to 60 pounds.” Citation Steven Starkey.
Additionally, there is fear that private institutions will not properly deliver in their duty to
rehabilitate offenders because they understand that they will be out of business if the offenders
genuinely change. Additionally, there is a financial incentive to do a bad job. The more effective
a correctional facility is the less need for its services. Suppose the inmates have educational,
work release programs, medical care such as anger management or mental health while locked
up. In that case, it’s less likely for them to return to Prison after being released. There will be no
one to go to Prison. Therefore, private people in business will do everything possible to ensure
that they have a constant flow of customers. There will never be a point of not needing prisons;
if there are better correctional policies and administration could result in a reduction of need.
Privatized prisons are disastrous from the point of view of a profit organization.
Finally, the most fundamental reason Prison should not be privatized is the right to
punish belongs only to the State. The criminal justice system is the process by which legally
deprives human beings of their guaranteed rights. When someone other than the State tries to
deny someone of these freedoms and rights, charge them with crimes so if it is a privatized
prison doing no different than one that committed the crime.
Prisons should not be privatized because punishing criminal activities activity should not
be a “for-profit” business. It is not the place of private prisons to administer prisoner
punishments Because it is the State government that determines who a prisoner is. They should

remain responsible for them until time has been served. Private prisons that cut costs may risk
security problems because cutting costs often means cutting corners which is less.
