Balloon Juice ? Business is Booming

This is just crazy:

In the United States ? with almost 400,000 annual detentions in 2010, up from 280,000 in 2005 ? private companies now control nearly half of all detention beds, compared with only 8 percent in state and federal prisons, according to government figures. In Britain, 7 of 11 detention centers and most short-term holding places for immigrants are run by for-profit contractors.

The only thing crazier to me than outsourcing prisons to private contractors is outsourcing military work, and we do both with gusto.
