[Vision2020] [corrected] It's Time for an Honest Conversation About Marijuana . . .

[Scott Dredge]

OK.  So there is a taxpayer cost for every prisoner housed by a private 
prison.  And presumably there is a taxpayer savings from every one of 
those prisoners not being housed in a state run prison.  If so, it would
 make sense to migrate prisoners from the state run facility over to the
 privatized one.  If the privatized facilities subsequently jack up 
their rates such that it would be lower cost to move them back to the 
state run facility, then such action should take place.  Stretching out 
tax dollars would allow any savings to be plowed into other government sanctioned projects.

One more time, Mr. Dredge . . .
Privatized prison companies "donate" heavily to election campaigns of those that may provide benefit to the privatized prison companies once they (the candidate to whom they [the privatized prison company] contributed $) are elected into office (say . . . perhaps a state governor's office).
Upon assuming office, the elected official pushes for a privatized state prison system, to be managed/operated by the private company that donated $ to the elected official's campaign.
Once the privte prison company is contracted by that state to house convicted defendants sentenced to a term in prison, that company is paid on a per-prisoner basis.
The more prisoners, the bigger the payment from the state (pronounced "tax payers").
Ok?

No.  What difference does it make whether criminals do their time in state run prisons or privatized prisons?

Mr. Dredge lamely suggests:
"Privatized prison system are not the cause of why many defendants are convicted of minor crimes.  That's a ridiculous notion."
Perhaps I was expecting too much from you, Mr. Dredge.  
The intent of my suggestion was to reflect on the incarceration of those convicted of minor offenses . . . incarcerated in privatized prison systems . . . privatized prison systems being marketed by lobbies . . . and adopted by state governments . . . like Idaho.
NOW do ya get it?
