The whole article is worth reading. Almost 45% of New Mexico's prisoners are housed in privately-run prisons. Prisons, hospitals and schools shouldn't be run as for-profit businesses. There are just too many incentives for poor outcomes or outright fraud. I think the bad actors among charter schools, for-profit colleges and for-profit hospitals should make this case pretty easily. We are allowing private businesses to steal from taxpayers with almost no oversight. It is a crock.
