Hi Jackie:
I didn't even know that they had "private prisons" until that deal came
up in Texas where the prisoners were being beaten.
I don't think that private prisons are a good idea because there isn't
anyone to really watch over how they are run, I don't think. Actually
the whole prison system should be revamped. There was a story on
Nightline that ran three nights about the prison system. One prison
that they went into seemed to be alright. The prisoners said that they
were treated as human beings rather than animals, and that made all the
difference in the world.
