How did the SR- navigate over open oceans and foreign territory? Was it all based on inertial navigation, or were you guys the first ones using the fore-runners of modern GPS, or something totally different? I can't imagine retuning to a new TACAN station every 30 seconds at mach 3 near home either.

So you have more than one prison company competing for contracts with the local government and you have a public competition with bids etc. for awarding the new prison development in the state. The contract awards points on an objective scale, favoring prisons with lower costs, better rehabilitation rates, and lower crime recurrence for inmates who have spent time in the facility compared to inmates in other facilities that serve similar demographic populations. The problem with private prisons is the fucking morons and corrupt asshats in government who are negotiating the contracts. People in office commit to guaranteeing an incarceration rate and paying the prison by the head, which is the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard of in a system labeled "Department of Corrections", and also colossally expensive to keep up with. The profit motive should still hold, you just need to get the government to actually act in its own best interest, which will never happen because politicians have no skin in the game beyond their next 2 years.
