how many inmates stay out of prison (public and private) and how many return (to each type).... I suspect they send the more tractable prisoners to the Private prisons. The Guard Unions are fighting them tooth and fang, just like the Teacher's Unions. Here is the figures from a year ago. Over five years that contract will increase the highest salary for a prison guard from $54,888 to $73,426 and tie guard salaries permanently to California Highway Patrol salaries (which are also scheduled to increase). The contract is likely to cost California taxpayers about $1 billion over five years. geocities.com The number of Prisoners has dropped in California the last few years, so guess which prisons will be closed? The private ones.
