One benefit of using private correctional facilities is:

• Prisoners in private facilities have a narrow array of legal remedies

• Privatization can substantially increase legal liability costs of operating prisons and jails

• They can be constructed and opened more quickly than public correctional facilities

• The quality of services and programs is frequently inferior to those in public correctional facilities

Research has determined that although no single type of treatment can be identified as the most effective, one feature that seems to characterize programs that consistently reduce offender recidivism is:

• the number of staff assigned to the program

• the program's popularity among inmates

• the quality of the program's implementation

• the rate at which the program is used in federal prisons
