Australia Summary "This two-part documentary reports on the privatisation of prisons in the USA and Australia. The film looks at the economics of allowing private companies to run jails and investigates the social and moral aspects of this new approach. Government representatives, legal officers, prisoners and guards are interviewed."The private prison industry is based on prisoners, it's continued and growing profits is based on prison growth. In order to do this, we need sufficient enough raw material. What's frightening in this case, the raw material is people."--Stephen Donziger [editor 'The Real War on Crime']."--Kanopy Credits Directed and co-produced by Catherine Scott; producer, Pat Fiske; writers, Catherine Scott, Alison Lyssa Cast Reporters, Angela Davis, Jennifer Gainsborough Event Originally produced by Ronin Films in 2006 Notes Originally produced [Australia], SBS Independent and the Australian Film Finance Corporation ; Ronin Films [distributor], c2000 Subject Group 4 Correction Services Port Phillip Prison (Vic.)
