Abstract
This paper provides evidence of the effects and efficiency of private prisons in the United States, using academic research, text documentary, and statistical findings. This paper seeks to enlighten readers of the use of for-profit private prison companies throughout the United States. Readers will receive information regarding the difference between private for-profit prisons facilities as well as public non-profit prisons. The reading will provide evidence of the effect private prisons have on both incarceration rates and the length of inmate sentences.Research will further discuss the dangers and ill effectiveness of for-profit private prisons in the United States. As the prison system has needed reform for well over a decade I believe it is important to review the prison systems fault.
