Biden signs executive order to end federal usage of private prisons

It's insane that they even exist in the first place. How on earth is prison supposed to be a profit making venture? That'll only make them incarcerate people that shouldn't be in jail to fill up quotas in their contract. So glad he's getting rid of it. Apparently Obama started the process to get rid of them, Trump tried to keep them (what else would you expect from that fool) and now Biden is trying to get rid of them again

@ViciDraco What's special about education that it shouldn't be profited from? Colleges and universities have been doing it forever. You can ask the same question about anything.

@RedBaron education is an investment in society and required if you want progress and a chance at equal opportunity. I grant education does not fit as securely as healthcare or prison.

Religion doesn't really add value to modern society, and is often detrimental.

@ViciDraco In your opinion.

Prisons need to make profit in UK, so it can give prisoners 5star luxury with everything they get. Better of then pensioners

Good. USA has too many prisoners. Many are there on false charges and then enslaved as a cheap labor source. Land of the free my ass.

Exactly. It has been described as comparable to modern day slavery.
If someone is presumably being punished for wrongdoing by losing their freedom, how is it just for someone else to profit financially from their incarceration ? 😳
