Is it just me, or is the lack of an outcry from
various right-leaning commentators about this just a little concerning? If the
department themselves had made the mistake the usual suspects would have been
all over it as an example of something that should have been contracted out to
private enterprise. Because private enterprise is always better. I disagree.
Today I'm in a charitable mood. I think the
people running the course made an honest, yet stupid and avoidable, mistake.
Could the same mistake have been made if the course was not run by private
enterprise? Yes. Should there be more contracting out in the prison service?
Based on this example alone, emphatically no.
