A Privatized prison, in NSW is calling for government to pay it compensation.
Seems it does not have enough prisoners.
Social media is full with complaints about Magistrates and judges grant bail, to serious offenders, often seeing them offend again.
Some walk free without any sentence or very short ones.
Should the courts deliver the community's expectations?
Who owns private prisons? why can they do it cheaper than government?
Do they do it cheaper? are shareholders ownership in them public knowledge?

//Should the courts deliver the community's expectations?//

Yes they should. My expectation is that they will deliver sentences in accordance with the rule of law, not the baying of the mob. The latter seems but a short step away from vigilantism and lynching... in other words, anarchy.

//why can they do it cheaper than government?//

I'm pretty sure they can't. It seems to me that the cost of privatised prisons must equal the cost of incarcerating people plus the private companies profit margin; whereas the cost of public prisons is just the cost of incarcerating people.

Don't be silly Toni, I can only assume you are on a government payroll somewhere to even entertain such an idea.

For example when Telecom was privatised they reduced the workforce to less than half that that required to run a government business, while increasing the output of the workforce. Not only that, they reduced the cost to customers, while making good profits.

The management ability of bureaucrats is highlighted by Queensland rail. Years of total incompetence was required before any of the useless fools were forced to jump.

Justice system took a huge downturn when parents stopped disciplining their children. It turned many teachers into child carers and multiplied violence many times over in the community.
