Yes if it's a non-profit social enterprise that focus on quality, care, rehabilitation, education, treatment and support. No if it's a purely profit-making business

I would have said no in the past but private prisons in the UK are better run than govt ones and less violent

 @9P5K4ZLanswered…7mos7MO

Increase wage and skills of those who run the prisons to offer better care in hope of more restored prisoners

 @9PMSJMDanswered…6mos6MO

No, private prisons will be susceptible to corruption and will care about profit far more than rehabilitation

 @9PLDZTK answered…6mos6MO

No does not work, invest more in HM Prison Servic modern prisons are poorly designed. Victorians knew how to build prisons with a centre and wings that can be closed off. Use more open prisons for minor sentences which could be run by the inmates ie cooking building maintenance etc.

No, but since almost everything in the public sector is exposed to corruption, over bearing bureaucracy and terrible financial management, costing tax payers millions in over spends because companies rip the government off. So in fact my answer is yes but only because we're terrible at public works in the UK.

 @9P6LYBDanswered…6mos6MO

No, with the removal of citizenship and only having basic human rights more people can fit into prisons therefore will be cheaper to run

 @9MX5JLCanswered…7mos7MO

Yes, there should be SOME strictly regulated private prisons, unless this costs the government enough to compromise funding allocated to rehabilitation services.
