Shutting down private prisons without replacing them with public prisons leaves you more limited on your capacity to convict people and keep them off the street though.

Have the private prisons been replaced?

I would support a law that outlawed private prisons and provided funding for replacing/nationalizing them. I think that many on the left would support that.

I think that makes perfect sense. It just doesn’t appear to be what’s happened so it’s just created a new problem.
