A Problematic Business Model: The Effect of Private Prisons on Arrests
نویسنده
چکیده
Past work related to the private prison system has focused on direct comparisons between private and public facilities, including their respective quality, costeffectiveness, and influence on recidivism. Using 2005 United States data compiled from a prison facility census, county census, and information on number of arrests by county, I examine the effect that the presence of private prisons has on the number of adult male arrests per county. Across four regression models, I initially find a significant effect of private prisons on arrests, but find that effect becomes insignificant once county and prison controls are accounted for. This suggests that the presence of a private prison in a particular county does not necessarily lead to a significant increase or decrease of arrests in that area.
