Continuing Controversies Sample Clauses

Continuing Controversies. The advent of private prisons in the 1980s, and the growing number of private fa- cilities in the decades following, has done little to quell the controversy surrounding their use. Private prisons and the role of the market in government service provision 4In the 1990s in particular, some private companies built facilities “on spec” without securing a government partner for them, a xxxxxx that was a profitable one (XxXxxxxx and Xxxxxx 2003). has attracted considerable controversy in the scholarly, legal, and public community (Austin and Coventry 2001, Xxxxx 2018).

Similarly, as the Tennessee government was considering a proposal from CoreCivic to take over the entire state’s prison system, the state at- xxxxxx general X.X. Xxxxxxx Xxxx strenuously objected to delegating a responsibility like corrections to a private company. He argued “[t]he idea of a transfer or delega- tion thereof, [is] in direct opposition to the design and ends of their creation” (quoted in Cody and Xxxxxxx (1987)).
