I work for the Federal system and we have constant problems with the few private systems we use (primarily for juveniles.) Some organizations need to be run in the most efficient way possible. Privatization is not the best bet for corrections. I’m with you on this one Lowgun.

When you make it possible to make a profit by keeping people locked up, you create a constituency which will spend a lot of money to make sure more and more people are locked up for longer and longer periods of time, which is exactly what we've seen happen in this country since we started privatizing prisons. Some things should not be driven by a profit motive. Privatizing our prisons and juvenile detention facilities is a huge mistake.

You can't help someone who does not want to be helped. It's that way in big boy (and girl) prison. Treatment programs are for those who can behave and benefit. Otherwise, they are removed. Why should youth be any different? It's going the be that way once the reach adulthood anyway.
