"This two-part documentary reports on the privatisation of prisons in the USA and Australia. The film looks at the economics of allowing private companies to run jails and investigates the social and moral aspects of this new approach. Government representatives, legal officers, prisoners and guards are interviewed."The private prison industry is based on prisoners, it's continued and growing profits is based on prison growth. In order to do this, we need sufficient enough raw material. What's frightening in this case, the raw material is people." - Stephen Donziger [editor 'The Real War on Crime']."--Kanopy.
