so the government pays to keep prisoners in this prison...the owners make a nice profit... and we wonder why our taxes are so high.

yep- and nobody checks on anybody until a whistleblower says something....and the state spends more money for court, good way to launder money legally....

how much money/ 105 mil.

Since when has anything run by the government been considered efficient? I say we need more private industry doing jobs like this. Maybe when more prisons are private there will be actual competition in pricing. I know that money can be lost if you have just this one prison setting it's own price that is why we need more choices for services from multiple providers. Think of cable tv prices before companies like direct tv entered the picture.

Heck I say spend some more money and add a room and put old sparky back in there. Found guilty right to the chair. Saves on court cost. Or a bullet right to the head that why these creeps feel no pain. Plus its cheaper and better for the enviorment.
