I was reading about personnel shortages at the Supermax prison in Colo. I am fully aware that we are looking at manpower shortages in many labor intensive fields due to the decreasing birth rates. Already many fields are shorthanded. However, we are not experiencing any decrease in the prison populations. We are seeing a growth there. And then there is the problem of illegal immigration due to the lack of jobs in Mexico.
What I propose, is that we start pushing for private prisons to be be built in Mexico. The further south, the better, as far as I am concerned. Set up an oversight board to ensure fair treatment. We are exporting so many of our industries to other countries, why not prisons. Make the prisons here in the states reserved for those prisoners that have a chance at rehabilitation. I would not even mind building a few in China. Not much odds about a felon escaping there.
