This book presents research on prison privatisation in the US, with
a focus on state prison privatisation. The basic thrust is to
research the privatisation of a governmental function that is
traditionally treated as a core function and involves the use of
force. Specifically, the author researched the basic drives of
prison privatisation and the variation of the magnitude of state
prison privatisation among the 50 US states. The basic idea is to
examine the influence of political and pragmatic factors to make
sure the fundamental nature of the privatisation of imprisonment,
and further, of core governmental functions. The author's general
argument is that prison privatisation was pushed forward by the
changing political environment. Pragmatic and economic concerns or
demands are derived from the political changes and are of secondary
but still direct importance. This book has a detailed exploration
of the whole picture of prison privatisation, with rich data and
analysis.
