My gut says "no", but bureaucratic lobbying has the same corrupt incentives as private sector lobbying. "Bribes" are perhaps the only additional peril associated with private prisons.

And boy are they perilous.

... [Personal attack redacted by Torie]

What on God's green Earth gave you the idea that you can levy personal attacks on Boards for which I am responsible, and get away with it?  Your post was reported. Don't ever do it again please within my range of jurisdiction. I will give you PM notice of this comment. Thanks.

Torie.

Absolutely I would. And I'd hold that anyone willing to destroy the environment in the name of energy production has no ground to object to its destruction in the name of social amelioration. Better the Alaskan wilderness be homesteaded and improved by those who would otherwise waste away in captivity than be exploited by Exxon.

You do realize no one has made that argument, right?
