    I don’t know what you mean. I thought California was one of the states that banned private prisons, but I live on the other side of the country, in NJ, where we’ve also banned private prisons, and are trying to stop the feds from putting private immigration detention centers in too.

    If you mean prisons in general, I think that’s a different discussion.

      All that means is the private company cannot own the actual prison. They can staff, supply, and build prisons; and use prison labor to make products.
