We believe that the recent article published by the Huffington Post, "Michigan Private Prisons Law Could Reopen Facility with Checkered Past," ignores the significant benefits of public-private partnerships and does not tell the whole story. For instance, the article suggests that "Michigan's experience with privatization offers a case study of the challenges many states have faced in outsourcing public safety to for-profit corporations: Cost savings often don't materialize, and lower wages lead to high rates of turnover, which critics say compromises safety." But states across the country have experienced the significant benefits of public-private partnerships which can deliver high quality correctional management services and programs at a significant savings to taxpayers. A comprehensive review of cost and quality studies by the Reason Public Policy Institute determined that virtually all studies found private prison costs to be lower, on average between 5 and 15 percent, and approximately 90 percent of studies found that private facilities perform as well or better than government-run facilities.
