CMV: Private Prisons should be abolished in the US.

Private Prisons aren't the problem - it's what they are being paid *for* that's causing problems.

E.g. instead of being paid to house prisoners, which incentivises the private prison to get and retain as many prisoners as it can, we could be paying private prisons based on how many years a prisoner *doesn't* re-offend. This might incentivise prisons towards creating a prison environment that rehabilitates rather than turns bad eggs into rotten eggs.
