Escapes, Riots and Beatings. But States Can’t Seem to Ditch Private Prisons. [nytimes.com]

In Arizona in 2015, a riot broke out in a private prison where previously three
inmates had escaped and murdered a vacationing couple.

After order was restored, the state revoked the contract of Management &
Training Corporation and hired another private prison firm, the GEO Group.

Three years earlier, the GEO Group had surrendered its contract to run a
Mississippi prison after a federal judge ruled that the inmates had not been
protected from gang violence. The replacement: Management & Training
Corporation.
