| 520 | |a A study was conducted to examine corrections officers (COs) in the privatized prison sector. Data were obtained from a review of the literature and from interviews with COs at a private prison in Canada.

Findings suggest that, despite the support of public and private officials for private “supermax” prisons, the business models used by private companies could make automated surveillance and remote control technologies more dangerous in private hands. Findings imply that technology makes a poor substitute for the skilled work of COs. | ||
