Prison Privatization, Redo

January 18th, 2012 by flanews

Just a few months after a judge threw out legislative plans to privatize 18 prisons in South Florida, the proposal is back in front of lawmakers. The Senate Rules Committee reviewed privatization legislation today. Governor Rick Scott says if lawmakers following the traditional legislative steps to privatize the prisons they have his support.

“If you can have somebody else do a portion of your job more efficiently or at a better price you ought to be looking at that, but I haven�t seen that bill,� said Scott.

Last year�s privatization plan was ruled unconstitutional in September because they were passed using proviso language in the 2011 state budget.
