FTA: "Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates announced the decision on Thursday in a memo that instructs officials to either decline to renew the contracts for private prison operators when they expire or “substantially reduce” the contracts’ scope."
So the options are 1) decline to renew the contract, 2) renew the contract or 3) reduce the scope of the contract...when the contract is up for renewal, within the next 5 years?
So, what's the incentive for any federal official to select Option 1...or, barring explicit resources to make up the difference, Option 3 for that matter?
This is a "feel good" move. I predict little, if anything, will be changed as a result of this in 5 years' time.
