Date: 1/8/1997Call Number: PM 323Format: Cass A & BProducers: National Public Radio (NPR)Program: Talk of the Nation with Ray SuarezCollection: Private Prisons
On this episode of Talk of the Nation with Ray Suarez, guests Joseph Johnson, Chairman and CEO of the National Corrections and Rehabilitation Corporation, and Dr. Charles Logan, Criminologist at University of Connecticut and author of "Private Prisons, Pros & Cons", discuss the pros, cons, meanings and symbolism of private prison growth. Callers frequently inquire about the profit motive of private prisons, which Johnson denies exists nor will ever influence the mission to provide the best service possible to inmates. Logan makes points such as "the demand for prisons is driven by crime, not by prison building" and "the private sector does not respond to, nor create, artificial demand."
