Company plans to close private Estancia prison, lay off 200... - GMDino - 08-08-2017 ...unless "someone" can find 300 more prisoners to fill it. ![]() http://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/company-plans-to-close-private-estancia-prison-lay-off/article_1ecd4d0e-caa1-5a05-bab2-1a7270729271.html Quote:The company that has operated a private prison in Estancia for nearly three decades has announced it will close the Torrance County Detention Facility and lay off more than 200 employees unless it can find 300 state or federal inmates to fill empty beds within the next 60 days, according to a statement issued Tuesday by county officials. Ah...America. Home of the free.... I mean, uh, private industry always does better than government run! Or, uh, we need to crack down on people who have a joint on them when they are randomly stopped...for the children! ![]() RE: Company plans to close private Estancia prison, lay off 200... - michaelsean - 08-08-2017 (08-08-2017, 09:31 AM)GMDino Wrote: ...unless "someone" can find 300 more prisoners to fill it. I don't think people go into the prison system for a random joint, but I've always been against private prisons, and I always will.

Look we need to fill those beds so the private prison can continue to make a profit! We can't fill it with bankers and wall street types that ripped people off so it's going to have to be street level marijuana users.

I don't know the set up in every state, but it's not just private prisons that profit in Kentucky. There are a lot of regional jails operated by counties that handle detainees for smaller counties and inmates from state/federal institutions. It's an on again off again problem for those jails. They serve as regional jails, but the only way they can keep a facility that size going is to have X number of inmates. I'm very much against for profit prisons, but it's not just a problem with how businesses work.

Any prison that is privately ran that is saying they have to have more prisoners or will close will get grief from me. If state run prisons are running out of prisoners they can downsize, ship in from other states, whatever. The core of this article and my problem is that this is a private prison and they serve as another example why we don't need these.

It's a twofer. With a full prison, people get jobs and all the people in the prison don't need 'em. |
