they're sending inmates to other states. I've worked for CCA in the past. Frankly, the service they delivered to inmates was similar to the state (I worked several prisons in FL - both state and CCA). They do poorly in terms of pay to the staff. But they hire from the community.

All prisons need oversight. They are apt to err on the side of abuse if not very carefully checked.
