Commissions? or Kickbacks? 0
The push to privatize public services has had almost uniformly inimical results.
Here’s one. From the website:
The prison industrial complex has continuously increased their profits, and with the expanding number of people behind bars in the US, the price of phone calls from prison has gone up as well. One company is charging $1.13 per minute in a Georgia state prison, and Drew Kukorowski, research associate for Prison Policy Initiative, joins us with more on the phone service in prisons and how the FCC might play a role in controlling rates.
Have you noticed how often vampire capitalists “private equity” turns up in these situations.
