Sadly, I could not expect anything different from for-profit corporations running our prisons.

It begs the question, why can't governments cut costs of it's own staff?

I would imagine for the most part a government employee who has a stake in society...good wages, union and penison...might be better than a guard who is probably being low-balled on benefits at the very least by the privately run prisons.

total speculation

Florida’s permissive oversight has allowed Youth Services International to essentially game the system since entering the state more than a decade ago. Despite contractual requirements that the company report serious incidents at its facilities, YSI routinely fails to document problems, sanitizes those reports it does submit and pressures inmates to withhold evidence of mistreatment, according to interviews with 14 former YSI employees.

Nice. :rolleyes:

I can't speak for Ohio but if you look in the parking lot at any government building here you will not see any expensive large cars.
