Disadvantages Of Private Prison Theory

Not only is Durkheim’s concept of morality important, but just as important is the infamous work of Karl Marxs’ anticipation of labor as demonstrated through capitalism. “We labor in response to our needs, but the labor itself transforms our needs, which can lead to new forms of productive activity” (Ritzer, Stepnisky, 1992:53). Marx proclaim that labor not only transforms the individual, but calls upon the culture of society to rely upon each individual participating just as the individual relies upon society in order to demonstrate true succession within life (Ritzer, Stepnisky, 1992:53). With the goal of effective labor, the private prison systems can believe that society will see an increase within the amount of individual inmates who are

This allows for the corporation to work around the systems flexibility in order to determine how to demonstrate profit towards the housing of many federal inmates (Bryant, 2015). A study by Camp and Gaes determined that “…within the first ten years of its establishment, the private prison system housed roughly 4% of inmates within maximum security private prisons” (2002). This theory also positively demonstrates that because of the enforcement of maximum security, “…85% of private prisons had no escapes occur within the first ten years of its overall existence… demonstrating how well the private prison systems accommodated in order for their system to become as fluent as possible” according to the study conducted by Camp and Gaes in 2002. This theory seems like a positive idea in order for society to become successful in any aspect of
