Under an instrumental lens, the need for greater levels of efficiency, capital, and management drive increased privatization (Jing 264). From the political perspective, the ideological preferences and commitments of political leaders are the two leadings forces that have led to the rise of private prisons (Jing 264). Jing provides both a historical and an economic perspective on the rise of private prisons, and under the political lens, thoroughly explains how neoliberalism intersects with the political justifications in favor of private prisons.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What is your initial impression of the data?<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My research this week has advanced my project forward: the data has provided me with the opportunity to better understand the history of private prisons, and to define exactly what the \u201cprivatization of prisons\u201d entails. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How have the data you have collected this week changed\/progressed your thinking about your research project?<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I could not find any comprehensive, captivating information regarding the role of politics in the rise of privatization in my research efforts last week.
