Her point about private contractors being paid by the number of people detained is an important larger warning. Privatized systems are not magically more efficient; they can just as easily be the driver of the bureaucratic labyrinth.

Perverse incentives. Someone didn't think about it, or maybe they did.

Hell, even without the private aspect.

Prison guard unions universally and almost exclusively oppose any legalization and decriminalization efforts, regardless of the subject.
