"* In a democracy only the state, if anyone, should totally control a citizen and their family. It is the ultimate, non-transferable state power. Prison isn’t like a hospital responsive to consumers.
* Increased profits require more fear of crime, more crime, more prisoners and longer sentences.
* Rehabilitation reduces profits. Thus privatisation makes everyone less safe.
* Prisoners are part of the community – not slaves to offload onto a multinationals’ balance sheet
* It is immoral to profit from the pain of others.
* Overseas experience is clear. Ten out of the eleven private prisons in the UK are in the bottom quarter of the performance register.
* Cutting costs means even less services. Teachers and health would come from the cheapest outside providers, not linking properly to the rest of the system.
• More secrecy – the corporation reports what protects their profit".
