Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

o Benefits

 Labor costs
 Wages of public employees are nearly two-thirds of a prison's operating expenses.
 Nonunionized staff receive lower levels of overtime pay, workers' compensation
claims, sick leave, and health-care insurance.

 Competitive bidding
 Private corrections firms have an incentive to buy goods and services at the lowest possible price.

 Less red tape
 Private corrections firms are not part of the government bureaucracy and therefore do not have to contend with the massive amount of paperwork that can clog government organizations.

o Drawbacks

 Safety Concerns
 Anecdotal evidence and some studies show higher rates of violence at private prisons.

 Philosophical concerns
 Only the government should have the authority to punish.
