Comment on Self-hosting jail?

Well some practical notes, there are at least two states that completely ban private prisons, (New York, Illinois), and many other states restricting them. Also if you want American Federal contracts, you can only house immigrant detainees going forward (thanks to Biden). While not the EU anymore there are also private prisons in the UK if you would like to start closer to home. And also there are public/private partnerships available such as in Alabama where you can work as Sheriff and get to run the jail as seen fit and pocket the difference in reimbursements.

Regulation surely is on the rise! Thanks a lot for the heads up, I escaped state mandated healthy insurance and unemployed benefits because I’ve been looking for freedom, but where’s that freedom when I want to self-host jail? They say that if you can make it in New York you can make it anywhere but apparently you can’t even make a living there pursuing your passion.
I will look into UK or Alabama, what I like about both is that they seem very family oriented! Of course there’s cultural differences with the UK royals loving family a lot whereas in Alabama it seems like a grassroots movement, but I believe both could be very valuable in supporting the jail community
