Additional State Prison Finder Information

State prisons that are operated by the state are non-profit facilities that confine incarcerated inmates. A private state prison is a for-profit facility that houses incarcerated inmates as well but is controlled by private companies that are outsourced by the state.  This has proven to be very effective in cutting down costs by the state and since the United States has the largest prison population in the world this adds up to a huge savings for the government. The private prisons are under contractual agreement and under the oversight of the government so they follow the same rules and regulations.  See private prisons for more information
