No, but the point is, government is often grossly wrong and corrupt. That is rather stating the obvious I know.
I would rather have a private run prison with some effective government oversight than purely government run systems. But hey, I could go the other way around too. Government prison with a private consultant doing oversight and reporting to an independent committee.
Auction off convicted felons to third world countries in lots of 100, to secure, feed, & house them for their prison term. Should help considerably with US & state over spending issues while reducing recidivism.
