A business is meant to grow and increase profits year over year. A private prison has no incentive to rehabilitate anyone that is held there. America uses the prison system as a form of punishment meant to torment those that happen to end up there. We don't look at those who have done their time as someone who can now come back to society and contribute. We see them as a ticking time-bomb. Waiting for them to commit their next crime. That is where these private prisons will flourish.
