Reframing Private Prisons

Welcome back to The Reframers! This week we’re discussing private prisons. Erin wants to know if Zach’s conservative leanings are going to influence his take. Kassie wants to know what a private prison even *is*…(did you know there was more than one kind of prison?)

Join us as we break it all down. Sneak peek of the questions below:

1. What is the difference between a private prison and a public prison, and what are the benefits of having both options available?
2. In what cases would an incarcerated person be placed in either a private or public prison? Do private prisons choose what type of prisoners they house?
3. How do private prisons make money, as a business?  Aka who pays their bills? Typically in a capitalist society, businesses make money when people choose one product or service provider over another. Are the prisoners choosing where they go, or their families? Do the prisons have to worry about remaining competitive against other prisons?
