Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The lawmaker advocating for privatization of prisons would likely argue that privatization leads to competitive bidding (A), lower labor costs (C), and less red tape (D) as ways to reduce costs. However, arguing for fewer programs to inmates (B) does not align with typical arguments for privatization aimed at reducing costs, as the focus is usually on efficiency and cost savings rather than reducing inmate services.
