I think you didn't read my post.
as usual, you're the one who didn't read.. I not only read yours, but I answered it by providing studies/articles showing that while you think the state's only goal is to save costs.. using a private prison isn't the way to do that..
Or you did.
That's OK. The concepts are not really for you. I've learned over the years that I'm not the one that can explain economics to you in a way you will understand. Suffice it to say that if the State does it better and cheaper, they should do it. If they can't, they shouldn't. That should be the purpose of the bidding process, to see if you can get the service done cheaper.
let's just hope no one decides to corrupt the system by hiding the real costs before it's too late.. not too mention let's hope the other corruption problem don't factor in here either. Not that you seem to mind them, as long as they tell you it's cheaper seems to be about all you care about..
