Abstract: The present paper aims at bringing about reasonable arguments around the idea of private prisons discussing it through the prism of the goals of punishment. The idea is relevant since Georgia has been experiencing problems regarding its system of corrections, at least during the last decade. For example, in 2012 prisons in Georgia were so terribly overloaded that the Parliament of Georgia approved prisoner amnesty for the purposes of improvement of the situation.
