Private Prisons Cons and Pros

Zusatztext `This is a thoroughly researched book set in a cogently - and sometimes eloquently - argued framework ... Given the size and diversity of the United States, what Logan has done at an empirical level is impressive. He offers us the best-researched account so far of the American private prison business.'British Journal of Criminology Klappentext The debate over the privatization of criminal justice services, especially of imprisonment, has featured prominently in the ongoing controversy over the proper scope and size of government. In the US, the record of private ownership has been bleak - ridden with political corruption, physical abuse of prisoners, and the single-minded pursuit of profits. Charles Logan here argues that this need not be the case. Zusammenfassung Examining various issues in the controversy over the privatization of the US prison system, the author establishes a strong case for the viability of proprietary prisons.
