Are private prisons more corrupt than government prisons? An investigating look at the general statistics on which prison system is best for our society.

Aviram, H.Are Private Prisons to Blame for Mass Incarceration and Its Evils? Prison Conditions, Neoliberalism, and Public Choice. Fordham Urban Law Journal, 42(2), 411–449.

In this article, the scholars explain that private prisons are worse than public ones for philosophical and ethical reasons. Additionally, the prisons being run for profit shows there is no incentive for the corporations to improve the conditions of the prisoners. The scholars have used several examples to explain the conditions of these prisons, especially by minimizing the cost of operations through cutting cost for healthcare, employees, and maintenance on prisons.
The article is crucial for the research paper since they show how private prisons try to minimize operational costs at the expense inmates by neglecting basic human rights and allowing under par prison conditions. Despite being wrongdoers, inmates are still American citizens entitled to all their human rights. Ethically speaking, treating inmates like slaves and inhumanly to increase profits is totally wrong. This will help show evidence that private prisons have faults, but not necessarily worse than public prisons.
