How do private prisons compare with state-run facilities in terms of cost-effectiveness, recidivism, and institutional operations?
What will be an ideal response?
The private companies tout cost-effectiveness, lower rates of recidivism, and more efficient institutional operations. However, in studies conducted on both, private and state-run prisons are about the same in these categories. Specifically, evaluation studies on the cost-effectiveness of private versus public institutions have been inconclusive. The research is mixed regarding recidivism rates between inmates released from state prisons compared to inmates released from private prisons.
