So the private prisons cost millions of dollars more than the government prisons.
Follow the money.
Who is taking in those millions of dollars?
Which political campaigns are they donating to?
I'm sure you'll find a link.
Brendan, would you mind linking to the cost study about the private prison costing the state 3.5 million? Didn't see it in the links you posted but I'd like to take a loot at it.
@3 Bingo. This is the real reason behind privatization and union-busting.
There's a big pile of cash (tax revenue) being managed by fucking morons (state reps). Why should we be surprised when the wolves (connected rich folk) show up and leave a mangled carcass (us) behind?
@11- The private prisons are usually unionized. Creating more union jobs (thanks to the guaranteed occupancy) is one of the selling points of private prison expansion.

Wonder where all your jobs went?
They're in prison.

According to Corrections Corporation of America's own propaganda, only 7% of their workforce is unionized - http://www.ccacommunities.com/static/ass…
@14- Thanks for the correction. I probably got that impression from an isolated case or something.
