Disincentivising the penal mentality by outlawing Private Prisons. By Tim Tufuga

A process to lessen the high crime rate through disincentivising the business model approach of the punitive culture, and the penal population, throughout many societies, by putting an end to the business model ethic approach to the punitive justice system.

With the rise of private prisons, there has been a comparable rise in the crime rates and especially the prison population to match the perpetual rise in the penal population and the underclass of most societies. The usual clientele are often racially profiled, and are socio-economically struggling and are more often than not are under employed; they are from the wrong side of the tracks, and from impoverished communities.

With the rise of private prisons, the proportion of escalating crime rates have gone hand in hand with the perpetual rise of private prisons commodifying the poor and lowly educated as money making inmates. Like cattle they are groomed to be future highly valued inmates, been plied with drug dependency and lack of employment, they go in for minor offences a graduate as recidivists, reoffending for more serious crimes, so as to line the pockets of some very wealthy private prisons.
