I understand your struggle with grief, and would enjoy chatting over a cuppa if you're ever up for it with a bloke from the other side of the pond. If I never hear from you, that's ait too, but am here if need be, young man.

I used to agree with this until I realized that if an organization could feasibly purchase the prisons and reform the treatments without having to wade through the bureaucratic nightmare that is public administration, the system of punitive repercussions could be made well. In other words, if one can see past the money to be 'made' via the graft, kickbacks, and underuse of resources that government grants and other capital available to privately owned prisons tends to engender, said private prisons may just hold the answer for what ails the DOC by the very nature of their privacy.
Take SpaceX for example, they have done more for space travel than NASA in recent years, not for want of intelligence in NASA scientists, but because SpaceX is streamlined bureaucratically in a way that, currently, NASA is not.
A bit sad, really, as public jobs are far more comfortable and secure, and so should be used by the administrators for greater performance output.
