    They should just privatize them like we did in the US. Worked out GREAT for us!

    /s if that wasn’t obvious.

      We’re halfway there already, it’s been pretty much all private contractors that sign off on their own work doing prison construction and works for a decade or so now.

      I’d be surprised if at least some of the operational stuff wasn’t also farmed out to private orgs.
