…. So I'm glad the Florida Senate killed a plan to privatize 28 state prisons, all in southern Florida, last week. The Legislature tried to ram through a similar controversial plan last year, attaching it to the state budget, but courts threw it out. …. As it stands, seven of Florida's 60 prisons are run by for-profit firms. I'm afraid what might happen if mass privatization takes hold. There will be cost-cutting by hiring cheaper workers, which could only undercut morale in already difficult conditions.
