Abstract

A third party has entered the scene of the U.S. prison system: the private sector. A handful of for-profit Wall Street corporations are currently making millions of dollars from what some critics call "dungeons for dollars." Such corporations claim they can build and run prisons more efficiently and cheaply than the government does, and offer their cells to needy governments at below-market prices. After an examination of history, cost-benefit analysis, alternative programs, economics, and ethics, it becomes apparent that this current trend of privatization of the American prison system is unjustifiable and undeniably harmful to society.
