The Privatization of Correctional Facilities: An In-depth Look The pros and cons of privatization tend to be flip sides of the same coin. For instance, those in favor of privatization argue that use of private contractors will lead to cost efficiency in the design and building of new facilities. Those who are against privatization, argue that it is that very independence of the contractors which will lead to higher costs since the profit margin now needs to be factored in as well as the possibility of "low balling" and other disreputable practices. This paper intends to examine both sides of the argument in terms of quality, cost, flexibility and accountability. However, it will also be argued that privatization is a step backwards in terms of societal, and governmental responsibility. The government is mandated to pursue punishment through objective laws, to maintain sovereign control of public policy (including punishment of offenders) and to preserve the good of society as a whole against the self-interest of a few. Privatization of prisons (not to mention schools and hospitals) is in direct conflict with these aims. 8.5 pgs. 19 f/c. 5b.
