prison privatization  

Définition

  • The term prison privatization commonly refers to the policy of contracting out the management and operation of prisons and jails to private, for-profit companies. Prison privatization is a controversial public policy issue, with ongoing debate over the ethics of delegating the punishment function of the criminal justice system to private actors, whether private prisons cost less to operate than public facilities, and if the quality of security and conditions of confinement differ between public and private prisons.
