The people and corporations running our prisons should be paid in proportion to the number of their inmates who don't re-offend

This makes sense. The only way for prisons to make more money now, is to house more prisoners. This is kind of the opposite of what we want.

I personally really like the idea of privatizing prisons.

That said, this anti-recidivism incentive would a really hard program to integrate. Even if the recidivism benchmark is two years, this doesn't account for crimes that are not reported or unsolved. Also, beteen the accused being considered innocent until proven guilty, lengthy appeals processes, and overturned verdicts getting exact numbers will be an incredibly long and laborious process.

Any incentives would have to be held off for probably five or six years before any remotely accurate rates of repeat offense could be tabulated.

A Django joint.
