There's a website devoted to privatization of prisons, sponsored by the American Correctional Association (which publishes a trade magazine called "Corrections Today.") http://www.privatemanagement.com/ Look under "privatization news archives" to find articles such as "To Privatize or Not to Privatize: Jail Officials Debate the Pros and Cons" and "Protecting Your Investment: What Corrections Agencies Can Do to Reduce Private Prison Legal Problems."
