How do partnership prisons lesson the blow of tight economic times?
Right now, states are struggling financially. When federal, state and county governments partner with CCA, they can reduce corrections costs that free up more funds for schools, libraries, roads and hospitals. They can spend fewer tax dollars on building, maintaining and running prisons, and instead invest more funds in directly in our communities. CCA has the experience and ability to provide absolute safety at the lowest cost to taxpayers. Thanks to decades of expertise in designing and building facilities, CCA typically cuts construction time by 40 percent, with cost savings of up to 25 percent. That means states can focus their resources where they’re needed most—safer roads, healthier communities and better education. For more on how partnership prisons especially prove their value to government during economic slowdowns, read “Weathering the Economic Downturn in Corrections,” available through the CCA Research Institute online.
