Nothing there that reduces crime, only ignoring it.

Private prison companies have a vested interest in high incarceration rates. A 2010 CCA Annual Report states that, “the demand for our facilities and services could be adversely affected by the relaxation of enforcement efforts, leniency in conviction or parole standards and sentencing practices or through the decriminalization of certain activities that are currently proscribed by our criminal laws. . .
Reductions in crime rates or resources dedicated to prevent and enforce crime could lead to reductions in arrests, convictions and sentences requiring incarceration at correctional facilities.

President Clinton then promised in a budget proposal to cut costs through privatization, and the ensuing Appropriations Act allowed states to use funding received under the act for private prison facilities.
