Chapter 0209 Private Prison
At this time, Norton's mouth was not idle, and he said with emotion: "So in the past two centuries, because of the overcrowding of the Mada Federal Prison, a new industry has been born - private prison management, and the management of the Mada Federal Private Prison has developed into a considerable multinational enterprise. β
Some of the judges in this room are already aware of this information and are aware that private prison management companies build their own prisons and detention facilities, and contract with the government to house and manage all kinds of prisoners.
Private prison management companies do everything from building prisons, taking prisoners, transporting felons, security systems, and more. In short, as long as it is profitable, they do it as a business.
A number of major prison management companies have been listed on the YarmΓ‘n Stock Exchange and are doing well. Many well-known people in society also own shares in these companies, and even major shareholders.
Wicken'er Prison Management was an early adopter of the private prison management industry and is now one of the two largest companies in the private prison management industry in the Mada Federation. They and more than thirty other important private prison management companies control the prison industry in the Mada Federation.
"Private prison management companies have a huge advantage. First of all, the procedure for setting up a prison is relatively simple, and the government has to go through a complicated approval process to build an additional prison, and the funding is limited by the government budget. Private prison management companies can be launched immediately, and more than one-fifth of the underlying costs can be saved through market financing. β
"Secondly, the personnel management of private prison management companies is more flexible. Managers only need to undergo one year of training before taking up their posts, and do not need to go from primary school to university and then enter a specialized judicial or police school. β
"In addition, some local governments often give tax incentives to these companies to attract private prison management companies to settle down and increase local employment opportunities."
"Investment banks are very optimistic about the future of the industry. Many analysts have likened the stocks of private prison management companies to stocks in the new technology industry. They even assert that even if there is a recession in the economy of the Mada Federation. The industry is not going to recession either. β
"For private prison management companies to compete for a larger share of the market, they need to keep improving. This makes them more willing to adopt new prison management technologies, such as joint defense surveillance systems, robotic guards and advanced consciousness sensing, deep freeze capital criminals, etc. β
"The conditions of their new prisons are much better than some of the government's old prisons, and they are completely different grades. The company constantly strives to improve its credibility. The most important thing is to reduce the rate of prisoners escaping from prison and recidivism after release. In fact, it is much safer than government prisons and is more beneficial to both inmates and the government. β
"As we all know, the company has created many training courses to teach inmates some life skills, and since there are more than 20 courses in the largest private prison in the whole Mada Federation, tens of thousands of people complete short-term training and obtain corresponding skills certificates every year. This gives prisoners a glimpse of the future and reduces the likelihood of reoffending in the future. β
"The Vickenail Prison Management Company is the second largest private prison management company among all private prison management companies, with a total of 107 prisons and detention centers operated by the company. Of these, 60 percent are domestic, and 40 percent are foreign. β
Norton's expression was impassioned, and his mouth was as full of bubbles as a river, and the sky was full of bubbles.
An hour later.
"That's it! Let's see, what other questions do you have to ask? Norton finally stopped his speech and began to scan the audience.
"Excuse me, what measures does your company have in place to prevent crime in prison?" Judge Lan Xi raised his own questions.
"What?" Norton apparently didn't understand what Judge Lanxi meant, and the other judges didn't all understand it all.
"In prisons, too, there are all kinds of inmate-to-prisoner abuses. What measures do you have in place to minimize this violation? Judge Lan Xi asked his question again.
"We have prison guards and security personnel, as well as advanced security systems." Norton understood what Judge Lanxi meant. He smiled and replied, "Victims can be found in a very short period of time, and they can go directly to these people and the system for help." β
"What if these people don't do their job? If the victim will be retaliated against, do you think he will still have a so-called report? Judge Lan Xi asked tightly.
"We will strengthen the management and supervision of security personnel, and supplement them with robots that have no emotion. All the people who enter the custody area have been screened by us, and this should not be possible. "Norton was a little overwhelmed. He didn't know why Lan Xi would ask such a question, there would always be some bumps in the prisoner after being locked in, what was there to prevent.
"I was asking how many measures you can take to prevent this?" Judge Lan Xi stared at Norton's face and said slowly, "Maybe you can give me some inspiration......
The other judges began to ponder. Apparently they weren't ignorant of what was going on in prison.
"Oh?" Norton breathed a sigh of relief, he regained his joy, gathered his thoughts, and continued, "As for the security personnel, I think we can rotate them frequently, changing the guard between several prisons, and not easily neglecting their duties if they are not familiar with the situation. β
Lan Xi nodded slowly, motioning for Norton to continue.
Two hours later, in Lan Xi's office, the female judge looked at this strange Norton, and his face was full of smiles.
"What can I do?" Lan Xi asked calmly.
"That's the case, I know that Ning Zhiyuan has been sent to prison recently, can you consider putting him in our prison?" Norton smiled, as if he were talking about something very ordinary.
"Oh? Why? Lan Xi asked as he tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop.
"As you heard in the afternoon, we have a lot of expertise in this area, and it can also save the federal government a lot of money, and ......"
"Ning Zhiyuan is a serious offender." Lan Xi coldly interrupted Norton's words, "I think, he shouldn't be a good fit for your company!" β
Your Excellency...... "Norton still wants to make an effort."
"You're good to go!" Lan Xi lowered his head and began to look at the other case file on the table, "Please close the door, thank you!" β
Norton regretfully stood up, turned and walked out. At the gate of the courthouse, an elongated aerokinetic car was slowly driving by, stopping to open the door, and Norton reluctantly slipped into the car.
"How?" Ning Xiaona in the back row looked at Norton coldly.
"No, that person is so unreasonable, I don't think anyone can touch her!" Norton said with a bitter face.
"What a bastard, shameless." Ning Xiaona scolded fiercely, since Ning Zhiyuan lived in prison for a period of time ten years ago, he had a strong interest in opening prisons, so the Ning family began to invest in some private prison management companies, these funds were injected in the name of some mysterious people, Ning Xiaona was one of these people, and the Wicken'er Prison Management Company was one of them.
