I'm profoundly shocked. I find it unacceptable that a government outsource something this ethically, legally and economically sensitive to a private business. I refrain from an ethical comment on the founders---even though the fact that this is an effort to monetize incarceration leads me to reflections on them not that hard to guess given my stance---but the business itself is ethically foul, and regardless of the quality of it's practical application in this instance, fundamentally dangerous. Even if this particular company is benevolent, this leads the way for other enterprise to try their chance in this area, and it's not hard to see this whole 'industry' becoming a post-modern diluted and prettily-marketed0 Slavery 2.0.
