Should the government hire private companies to run prisons? ^{stats discuss}

This, alongside $1 billion for subsidising dirty coal supplies to power stations, guarantees future corporate profits. This sell-off comes on the back of the privatisation of the TAB, the State Bank, the Government Insurance Office (GIO), prisons and State Lotteries and attempts to privatise Sydney Ferries and more. The result is billions of dollars that would have been generated for public use is now in private hands, and prices are set to skyrocket. "Source
