Private companies in charge of running detention or correctional facilities are only in it for the money they receive for each prisoner/inmate. Employees are often overworked and understaffed, making it an unsafe environment, not only for the staff but for the inmates as well. From my experience working in a privatized prison and federal prison, the federal system is structured, and set guidelines are in place. However, the issue of overcrowding remains in either system.
