Personal stance on the privatization of prisons versus traditional government-run
facilities

Privatizing prisons in my view is the most dangerous thing any government may want
to do. Even though efficiency may be thought to happen after privatization, there is a danger
to allowing private individuals run and manage the prisons. My view is supported by among
others the following reasons:
 Individuals may apply bias in managing the prisons. If someone for example is the
owner or among family members and supposed to be jailed, then chances that the
correctional facility will be used to achieve its objectives will fail since it is natural to
disallow a close member of friend into undergoing the prison life. This role will be best
be played by the state which appears neutral and can allow transfers of staff and even
prisoners easily since it manages all the prisons.
 The prison may not adequately implement the set laws as is in the laws of the country.
This is because they are by individuals who have their own view of what needs to be
done even though they may be given guidelines.
