A Problematic Business Model: The Effect of Private Prisons on ArrestsDonnelly, Claire 01 January 2017 (has links)
Past work related to the private prison system has focused on direct comparisons between private and public facilities, including their respective quality, cost-effectiveness, and influence on recidivism. Using 2005 United States data compiled from a prison facility census, county census, and information on number of arrests by county, I examine the effect that the presence of private prisons has on the number of adult male arrests per county. Across four regression models, I initially find a significant effect of private prisons on arrests, but find that effect becomes insignificant once county and prison controls are accounted for. This suggests that the presence of a private prison in a particular county does not necessarily lead to a significant increase or decrease of arrests in that area.

Maintaining the Prison-Industrial Complex: Private Actors and Power : A Multi-Dimensional Power Analysis of CoreCivic and The GEO GroupSturmhoefel Warnberg, Linnéa January 2021 (has links)
Several scholars have studied the Prison-Industrial Complex (PIC) since the late 1990s. However, there is a lack of research on how private actors profiting from the PIC, such as private prisons, are maintaining and sustaining it. This study explores how private prisons utilise different forms of power to maintain the PIC by shedding light on which real, structural, and soft powers CoreCivic and The GEO Group (the two largest private prison companies in America) are utilising to sustain the PIC. This will be done by analysing CoreCivic and The GEO group through the lens of Steven Lukes’ framework - Three Dimensions of Power. The study has been conducted as a qualitative desk and case study following abductive reasoning. The data have been analysed employing both text and discourse analysis. While the companies unquestionably use structural power, primarily through lobbying, to maintain and sustain the PIC, it can only be suggested how they have employed real and soft power. The companies use real power mainly to ensure high-profit margins. It can thus, be suggested that the companies are indirectly maintaining the PIC by simply ensuring continued profitability. Finally, the study suggests how the companies are employing soft power to upkeep the PIC. By portraying themselves to the American society in a more positive way, contradictory to how they operate, the companies ensure continued support by society, which is vital for their continued existence.

Profit behind bars? : Prison privatization in South AfricaÖsterlund, Vidar January 2023 (has links)
Prison privatization has received notable attention in academic circles, but discussion has focused on the Global North, particularly the United States. On the other hand, little attention has been given to incarceration systems in general or prison privatization in the Global South. In this qualitative and deductive thesis, the subject of privatization in the field of correctional services is investigated with regard to South Africa, which stands out in the Global South due to it having two fully privately-run prisons, but also by having a large incarcerated population. The analysis is conducted based on an original framework of four levels of privatization, ordered from private involvement in the least crucial aspects of corrections management to the most, as well as the aspects of scope of privatization and the types of actors involved. Based on the analysis, the conclusions reached imply that private actors are involved to some degree with some aspects at all levels as well as that a variety of different actors are involved on different levels, and that the scope of privatization in South Africa is significant although this varies across levels. In total, this implies a relatively high degree of privatization in South Africa.

Previous issue date: 2018-03-01 / A situação carcerária é uma das questões mais complexas da realidade social brasileira. O retrato do hiper encarceramento no atual estágio da crise nas instituições penitenciarias, expõe o dilema entre o reconhecimento da alteridade em conflito com o discurso da universalidade, tornando evidente a questão relativa à ressocialização, como finalidade da pena, tendo o propósito de reeducar o(a) preso(a). Erigida na linha de pesquisa “Estado, Desenvolvimento e Desigualdades Sociais” do Programa de Pós-Graduação Interdisciplinar em Políticas Sociais e Cidadania, esta dissertação é uma contribuição à crítica do processo de ressocialização no sistema prisional brasileiro, dissimulada por intermédio das propostas de privatização que apreendem a lógica de alocação da universalidade abstrata na forma mercadoria. A principal base para construção desta pesquisa é uma revisão crítica da literatura sobre o tema e suas idiossincrasias, destacando o viés inovador e pontual desta abordagem sob orientação da teoria do valor (fetiche e alienação), uma vez que a proposição-chave é compreender o fenômeno e promover uma provocação acerca das falácias que subsidiam a preocupação com os direitos humanos dos(as) presos(as). Verificou-se como resultado nesse estudo, o interesse do Estado em privatizar os presídios brasileiros, adotando o discurso de “baixo custo e alta segurança”, abrindo mão do controle “indisponível” constitucional em prol da iniciativa privada. Essa omissão reforça o paradoxo nos direitos humanos, a desvalorização do “sujeito”, a reincidência nos delitos, ou seja, a mercantilização do indivíduo preso, sendo evidente a alocação do capital das empresas frente à vida desumana no cárcere na sociedade do espetáculo. / The prison situation is one of the most complex issues in Brazilian social reality. The picture of hyper incarceration in the present stage of the crisis in penitentiary institutions exposes the dilemma between the recognition of alterity in conflict with the discourse of universality, making evident the question of resocialization, as a purpose of punishment, with the purpose of re-educating the a) prisoner. This dissertation is a contribution to the critique of the process of resocialization in the Brazilian prison system, disguised through the privatization proposals that apprehend the logic of allocation of abstract universality in the commodity form. The main basis for the construction of this research is a critical review of the literature on the topic and its idiosyncrasies, highlighting the innovative and timely bias of this approach under the orientation of value theory (fetish and alienation), since the key proposition is to understand the phenomenon and promote a provocation about the fallacies that subsidize the prisoners' human rights concern. The result of this study was the State's interest in privatizing Brazilian prisons, adopting the discourse of "low cost and high security", giving up the "unavailable" constitutional control in favor of private initiative. This omission reinforces the paradox in human rights, the devaluation of the "subject", the recidivism in the crimes, that is, the mercantilization of the imprisoned individual, being evident the allocation of the capital of the companies in front of the inhuman life in the prison in the society of the spectacle.
