I noticed that in hippy circles that prison privatisation is one of the fastest riasing things to complain about. I don't know how I feel about that.

I wonder if we're not too far away from prison cells that all sport little gold tags on the doors stating who or what group is "sponsoring" the cells, for the public good you know. I'll bet that if there is a tax break offered in the deal than it'll happen.
