Societies that privatize their correction system leading to inmates being raw material for generating profits, are in my eyes not allowed to carry the name &#x27;society&#x27; (coming from latin socius = companion or fellow)[0] anymore.<p>They are not fellows who correct and punish, they are slavers, outsourcing slavery for generating tax revenue and private revenue alike.<p>I totally cannot understand any rationale behind a privatization of prisons, as it totally runs contrary to what society should want to get out of a prison system (rehabilitation, correcting wrong behavior, punishment).<p>I know, I might sound harsh, but I really have no idea how a society can want a system like this, that extorts prisoners for privatized gains.<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;translate.google.com&#x2F;?ie=UTF-8&amp;hl=de&amp;client=tw-ob#la&#x2F;en&#x2F;socius" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;translate.google.com&#x2F;?ie=UTF-8&amp;hl=de&amp;client=tw-ob#la...</a>
