PSC and PMC have a lot in common, such as the nature of the project is protected, both belong to the high-risk industry of playing with guns, the employees are all military first, and both parties can carry out some contract projects with each other, etc.

After such a long time, the original definition between the two industries, one dedicated to serving the military and the other concentrating on serving the people, has slowly merged, and the definition has become more and more blurred.

Basically, up to now, in addition to the more cutting-edge military science and technology, battlefield security, military logistics construction, and special "wet work" in PMC, this kind of project can only be completed by private military contracting companies with strict and high-standard personnel selection standards.

Other security projects, whether PSC or PMC, will be involved in each other to a greater or lesser extent.

And when a private person goes to contract a prison, at first glance, most people will find it incredible.

After all, the prison represents the law enforcement agency of a sovereign state, and it is the end product of the strict law.

Isn't this private person imprisoning a group of people tantamount to illegal imprisonment?

However, this is not the case!

Privately contracted prisons originated in the United States, where crime rates have soared to 700% in the past 20 years and are still growing rapidly, with an average of one in every 100 people now in a prison cell, and at least five of the remaining 99 Americans will go to jail in the future.

At first glance, there are 94 others who will not become prisoners, which is a very optimistic situation.

However, with a huge population of up to 300 million in the United States, this data is very terrifying.

Based on this data, the United States now has more than 3 million prisoners in prison cells, accounting for 26 percent of the world's total prisoners, accounting for less than 5 percent of the world's population.

In other words, for every four prisoners in the world, there is one American!

This is also the reason why many Americans who think that living in a free country is simply a paradise come to China, but they feel the "freedom" that they have never had in life in this country that the Cents Party thinks is unfree.

What is even more terrifying is that the United States, with its 3 million prisoners, has 15 million potential prisoners.

To put it bluntly!

As you walk the streets of the United States, at least 1 of the 100 people you meet have just been released from a prison cell, and 5 will enter a cell in the future.

If it was to go to the black and refugee quarters, it would be unimaginable.

This is the so-called free country in the eyes of the "cent party", a "free country" that is so terrifying that even native Americans dare not go out alone at night.

One of the things that has to be said is that it also accounts for a big factor!

That is, each state in the United States exists independently, and each has the right to legislate and select state governments, and the national government has no right to interfere.

The emergence of private prison contractors happens to be the highest crime rate in the United States, not to mention petty theft and rape, drug dealers, shootouts, and murders are all over the street, and more than 250 crimes broke out in the United States every week on average in the 80s of the last century.

You must know that these troublesome group crimes, once caught, are a large list, and the crimes are very serious, they are all goods worn by the bottom of the prison.

Since the crime has been committed, it must be caught!

It's pretty cool to catch it, you can catch dozens or even hundreds a day, and the police car can pull back and forth several times.

So here's the problem......

First, where are so many prisoners going to be held?

Second, where does the state government get the money for these uncles to eat and drink for nothing?

It is under the pressure of such a large group of "prisoners" and the fact that there is no one-shot approach such as the death penalty, that the United States is faced with these prisoners who are only responsible for food and shelter, do not have to pay at all, and have to eat prison meals for decades one by one.

In terms of living expenses, the problem is that the security personnel who manage the prison and the large number of prison construction needs are simply an unbearable burden on the government's finances.

Among them, the approval and construction of public prisons is under the jurisdiction of the national government, and the procedures are particularly cumbersome and complicated.

As a result, state governments can't afford to wait!

Originally, there were three or four people in the cell, and if there was no new prison, the prisoners could not afford to wait, and they would be suffocated to death.

As a result, in this extreme situation, some open-minded American businessmen threw the idea of making money on the prisoners.

On the condition of building their own prisons and hiring their own security personnel, they signed detailed contracting procedures with the government, and successfully contracted the management of some prisoners from the state governments, which were worried about the overabundance of prisoners.

And the first person to eat this "crab" was Tom Bailey, the chairman of the Tennessee Republican Party at the time, and two friends he found.

One is a lawyer and the other is president of the American Correctional Association.

The three of them summed up at that time and made a decision with a pat on their heads: "It is very difficult for the government to apply for prison, but the state government can decide on the approval of civilian housing construction. ”

So in 1984, the "CCA Private Prison" was officially established.

The prison's first business customer was a large group of illegal immigrants who were smuggled into the country in the Texas immigration bureau.

And this company has developed to the present, not only has it not been dragged down by this group of prisoners, but has become the No. 1 private prison contractor in the United States, occupying 45% of the market share in the United States, with an annual net profit of 1.8 billion US dollars.

Private prison contractors are only a branch of the PSC industry, and the construction of private prisons has become the norm in many countries and has become a regular business project in the PSC industry.

There are two ways to contract prisons privately!

They are "full responsibility contracting" that contracts the entire prison, including infrastructure.

One of them is CCA, the nation's largest prison contractor.

The other type is only responsible for the security and security of the prison, so that the prison can maintain normal operation, and the government is responsible for other things "security contracting".

G4S (Stryker Security Company), ADT (American Alarm Technology Company), SAB (Sekolida Security Company), etc., the world's well-known PSC companies with an annual revenue of more than 10 billion US dollars, all have prison contracting pre-closure project departments.

Since it does not specialize in operating prisons to win profits, it is one of the many businesses of the company to send people to guard the prisons instead of government law enforcement officers.

As a result, most of them are just security contractors.

That is to say, the national government gave me the project contract, and you set the rules for how to manage it, and you are responsible for the prison, and I only help you guard the prison or the prisoners will run away.
