It usually means they get less done, and I don't want them to find a place for this jail. As Ian said, end the drug war and the current jails will be more than adequate to house real criminals.

I would rather there be a sheriff, than a state trooper. Private prisons are better than gov't for one very big reason, you can sue a private company for abuse or misconduct far easier than a gov't prison.
