1punishment on errant citizens through incarceration or other
2uses of detention requires the State, any unit of local
3government or a county sheriff, to exercise of its coercive
4police powers over individuals and is thus distinguishable from
5privatization in other areas of government. It is further found
6that issues of liability, accountability and cost warrant a
7prohibition of the ownership, operation or management of
8correctional and detention facilities by for-profit private
9contractors.
