Any private prison is an abomination and the owners thereof should be therein. Further the City, County, State, Federal lawmakers that made these possible should join them.
The conundrum then is that a free man should be materially better off than the prisoner - who must have 3 solids, a bunk, and healthcare. Kinda makes clear that healthcare is a right. We must also logically and justly have a UBI or even forego having prisons.
