Yeah, just as the GOP wants. They don’t want to STOP putting people in jail, they would prefer to put MORE people in jail.

Are you asking why? Because private prisons will not filled themselves up on their own. Follow money. Profit.

The state owns the prisons but contracts out to private for profit security companies like The GEO Group to run our prisons. Nice try though.

What’s funny is you can even look through by district and region on the cor.pa.gov site and see which are contract too.
