Private prisons are incarceration centers that are run by a for-profit company instead of a government agency. The companies that operate private prisons are paid a per-diem or monthly rate for each prisoner they keep in their facilities. In Canada there are currently no private prisons. Opponents of private prisons argue that incarceration is a social responsibility and that entrusting it to for-profit companies is inhumane. Proponents argue that prisons run by private companies are consistently more cost effective than those run by government agencies.

No, the prisons we have today should have increased safety while hiring more psychologists to have each criminal work from prison to fund the prison so that this can also help them be ready for the public world once they are approved to become part of the public once again.
@8GPGQX85yrs5Y
Allow both private and government run to see who does the best job.
@9TMF6JB7mos7MO
No, because there is a risk of the criminals being let out early due to nepotism if their family members work at the prison.
@9TLDMJL7mos7MO
Yes, but they should be monitored closely in case of bribery, leading to the release of unwanted felons and convicted criminals before their sentence is over.
@95LSVQV3yrs3Y
@92RTRZZ3yrs3Y
Yes, but eliminate quotas; strictly regulate them to prevent corruption and mismanagement; and prioritize rehabilitation.
@8VJPNYX4yrs4Y
@8VGRB7M4yrs4Y
Prisons should be used only for temporary holding of accused. Restitution to victims is required.
@8VGFPVG4yrs4Y
Only if there are measurable benefits in cost or performance. Prison labour could be used to compete with Chinese cheap labour.
@8S93BC54yrs4Y
No, prisons and rehabilitation services should not be privatized
@8RDST2J4yrs4Y
@98N7V852yrs2Y
no, because there could be bribing from Ritch prisoners
@8VJ8ZRD4yrs4Y
No the federal government should run all jails and keep all jails with the same throughout Canada
@8T55ZT54yrs4Y
Not for profits could run them.
@kuyugomodiLiberal5yrs5Y
This can go really bad, I don't like the idea one bit
@92274HB3yrs3Y
@8VTQ7Q24yrs4Y
only if they could provide a better quality of care and rehabilitation services, and were managed by the government and still had to report to them , as well as allow the public to have a greater knowladge of how its being ran
@8VBHT5P4yrs4Y
@8V7LPJX4yrs4Y
Only to support and subsidize the current manpower
@8V35KBX4yrs4Y
@8TX7JTCConservative4yrs4Y
If it is cheaper and more effective only

Prisons are usually an authoritarian tool, and should instead be replaced with more humane alternatives -- private or not.
@8P3F3JT4yrs4Y
Eliminate all prisons , abolish all non violent crimes, give violent criminals the death penalty or minimum terms in the military with no rank promotion and no pay until term is completed.
