Cost to the taxpayer is the same. There are no savings.

Don't we have laws against slave labour or payment in scrip?

Tonington, I am honest enough to concede. I may or may not bother to go and Google to find data to support my argument and to oppose yours. I realize that our views of the world and how it is run and should be run are different.

As the old saying goes: Vive La differance!

Hmm.. I wonder if that also correlates with the ever increasing gap in wealth distribution...


Hmmmmmm.......




How fitting.. Young Stalin in a red shirt on a red background pondering the plight of the innocent proletariat as a victim of capitalism.

BTW - What's that Red sh*t in his hand and was it cultivated with a hammer 'n sickle for the behest and benefit of the masses?

Cost to the taxpayer is the same. There are no savings.

The costs are contracted unlike the bottomless pit of the public sector... The savings are in the form of knowing what those costs will be for a fixed period.

So that's why the new female prison is already short staffed?

Oh look, Shakespeare came to the party with century old euphamisms, but he forgot his testicles in that old mason jar in his basement.

Why don't you open it up and make a point instead of copping out with the commie insult?

As expected... No answer to the sad little demands of the theoretical society in which you pine for... Privately run prisons are bad because of wage gaps...

Maybe you ought to get in touch with the Shakespeare Society and collect your balls that are stored in the same jar as The Bard.

So that's why the new female prison is already short staffed?

Good point.. If the prison was run by the Feds, there would be an over supply of guards.

You were about to make a point and then you stealth edited.

The truth must hurt.

Come back when you want to actually make an assertion about the topic at hand.

Not nearly as much as when you had your balls removed.

Come back when you want to actually make an assertion about the topic at hand.

I will do that the very moment that you make the decision to stop the incessant deflections and insults.

It's not guards they are short on.

So you really are clueless about the new female facility owned and ran by Corrections Canada? In time you'll learn. Maybe.

I see... So you are saying that if the feds ran all the prisons and the private sector was eliminated, then there would be no staff shortages.

Gotcha
If you were to imprison 5000 women, How many medical staff do you think there should be to ensure the health, safety and rehabilitation of those 5000 women?

50:1? 100:1? 200:1?

Take a wild crack at what the ratio is.

I see... So you're saying that <subject: replace with what I am saying and make it sound like what you should be saying>.

Gotcha.

How come China with more than ten times the US population has fewer prisoners in absolute count.

What the f@ck is it about Caucasians the dumb ones can't avoid witch-burning?

Business is booming for private prisons

Is business booming for prisons such that prisoners are forming their own communities within the prison, like we see in Peru?
That's not a good thing.

50:1? 100:1? 200:1?

5:1, just like childcare.

Japan also has a lower ratio of crime to population, but that's because police records let slip the follow up required to solve the case.

There's nothing dumb. It's not that the population is less inclined to break the law, but that the law is less inclined to act quickly to solve the case. If a woman is missing, they attribute it to a willing disappearance until someone like Tony Blair speaks to the Japanese Prime Minister about the absence of resolve to solve the case. That is what is going on in China with their low crime rate ... a shift in terms of police letting a lot of things slide because it keeps the record clean ... rather than a low crime rate per population.
