Justice Department Announces Effort to End Use of Private Prisons - GoFuckYourself.com

The Justice Department has launched an effort to reduce, and eventually discontinue, its use of privately operated prisons, according to the department's second-in-command.

"I am directing that, as each contract [with private prisons] reaches the end of its term, the Bureau should either decline to renew that contract or substantially reduce its scope in a manner consistent with law and the overall decline of the Bureau's inmate population," Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates said in a memo to the Bureau of Prisons.

Yates added, "Private prisons served an important role during a difficult period, but time has shown that they compare poorly to our own Bureau facilities."

In fact, just a week ago, a report by the Department of Justice (DOJ)'s internal watchdog, the inspector general's office, found that "in most key areas, contract prisons incurred more safety and security incidents per capita than comparable [Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP)] institutions."

As the federal prison population skyrocketed a decade ago, the Justice Department began contracting with private prisons. But the federal prisoner population has begun to decline, thanks in part to "several significant efforts to recalibrate federal sentencing policy," and private prisons "simply do not provide the same level of correctional services, programs, and resources" as government-run institutions, Yates said in her memo.

Private prisons also "do not save substantially on costs," and the "rehabilitative services that [BOP] provides, such as educational programs and job training, have proved difficult to replicate and outsource," she added.

In its report released last week, the DOJ inspector general's office also showed higher per person rates of "contraband finds, assaults, uses of force, lockdowns, guilty findings on inmate discipline charges, and selected categories of grievances," a press release said.

"For all these reasons, I am eager to enlist your help in beginning the process of reducing -- and ultimately ending -- our use of privately operated prisons," Yates told BOP's acting director in the memo.

BOP currently uses private prisons "primarily to confine low security, criminal alien, adult males," according to the inspector general's office.

As of December 2015, private prisons housed roughly 22,660 of these federal inmates -- or about 12 percent of BOP's total inmate population -- costing taxpayers more than $630 million a year, the DOJ inspector general's report said.

Within minutes of the news today that the Justice Department was looking to end its use of private prisons, at least two of the three private corporations used by the department saw their values drop by double-digits on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

This issue has been a long-standing priority for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party and became a hot topic on the presidential campaign this year. Bernie Sanders, in particular, was vocal about his opposition to private prisons from the start of his campaign, and today he applauded the Justice Department's announcement.

Agreed!

Judges getting thousands in kickbacks for each prisoner referred to a private prison is bullshit!

It should excite everyone. Private prisons are a very bad thing and encourages states to fill them due to mandatory quotas.

Great news...private prisons are run for profit which means that there is an incentive to create more criminals and grow the "industry"...this is some actual good news from the government for a change.

A lot of them are actually used for a sick sort of "legal" slave labor as well...more incentive and the US talks about being against slave labor and yet it exists right here on US soil.

I've always avoided prison. Just seems like a good general idea.

In terms of these private prisons costing the tax payers more annually, better of pursuing the ceasing of these private prisons.
There are way off reasonable expenses where the tax should go.

Indeed...little known fact but being the history buff I am I know that although the official slogan of the USA is "Land of the Free" some had also proposed "Land of the Gay Ass Rapers" which came in a close second...

Personally I think they made a mistake.
