But the prison systems have become cash cows for private enterprise.
Prison operating contractors have no financial incentive to
rehabilitate inmates. Quite the opposite, there is incentive to
create more inmates, so that more prisons will be built and
Wackinhut's business will increase. Corporate self interest is at the
root of many of society's ills.


Um, no. Self-interest of humans is the root of many ills.


It's also the source (context, please) of all good. How is criminal behavior
and any way in ones "self-interest"?

Particularly
from criminals. if corporations behave in illegal manners, they are
punished, so too should criminals be punished. Blaming "corporations" for
the failing of people is a cop out.

Enron is all but gone. Compare that with what it was doing on
the late 90s while the goverment looked the other way. Enron
leaders are now in prison, and more are expected to follow.

Get real yourself.

It wasn't the current administration that closed Enron. It was a
moral Enron employee who blew the whistle on Enron's illegal practices
that hastened its bankruptcy.

Compare that with what it was doing on
the late 90s while the goverment looked the other way. Enron
leaders are now in prison, and more are expected to follow.


Unfortunately, the leader of Enron, Kenneth Lay, is still free and
unindited with tens of millions of dollars (of what should have been
Enron's former employee's retirement money) safely in the bank. Do
you suppose that Kenneth Lay's being the largest contributor to the
baby Bush election campaign and a long time friend of the Bush family
has had any influence on this master mind of Enron's nefarious deeds
remaining beyond the reach of the law?

Get real yourself.


Get informed yourself.
