Description
Looks at the controversial factors surrounding the decision to privatize state prisons.

Reviews:
-[U]nderscores how for-profit private prison companies have gone public and are trading on the stock exchanges, and the inimical impact of prisons being publicly traded. —Houston Business Connections Monthly
-[E]xamines the steady growth of private, for-profit prison firms and the correctional-commercial complex that has developed tangentially with the private prison industry. The book details the strange bedfellows that have been brought together to expand this industry. Price underscores how these for-profit private prison companies have gone public and are trading on the stock exchanges and the inimical impact of prisons being publicly traded. He debunks many of the claims as to why states seek prison privatization and demonstrates that incarceration is the new form of slavery....This work sets the record straight about the decision to privatize state prisons, revealing the political bias that often drives these policy choices. —National Union of Public and General Employees
