Justice "cost points" : Examination of privatization within public systems of justice
RESEARCH SUMMARY: In addition to outsourcing the management of correctional facilities, many local and state authorities contract with private companies to provide a variety of services and processes within U.S. courthouses, jails, and prisons. In this article, we explore the various "cost points" at which individuals who make contact with public systems of justice are charged by private entities. We provide two case studies with an in-depth look at how private companies make money within U.S. justice facilities-court-ordered programs and prison services.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS: Through our examples, we show the extent to which private companies generate profits within U.S. systems of justice and the potential impacts of justice "cost points" on those involved in these systems. We end by suggesting policy makers more thoroughly explore the reasons for the privatization of justice system practices and services and develop transparent oversight to ensure private arrangements do not impose undue burdens on justice-involved individuals and their families.
