RT Article T1 Privatized corrections: questions of legality JF Criminology & public policy VO 18 IS 2 SP 419 OP 446 A1 Eisen, Lauren-Brooke LA English YR 2019 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1667618210 AB In this article, I look at some of the statutory and case law that has shaped the evolving regulation of the private prison industry. I also examine some critical gaps in legal issues regarding private contractors that manage prisons, jails, and detention facilities. The privatization of justice encompasses all for‐profit firms that make money in the prison‐industrial complex. Critical unanswered legal questions run the gamut from whether it is legal for corporations to pay undocumented detainees to work inside detention centers to whether it is legal for a private probation company to extend a probationer's supervision.
