Abstract
Abstract: Private for‐profit prison corporations are expanding in Australia faster than in any other country. These corporations are based in the USA and form part of the correctionscommercial complex. It is the contention of this paper, from observations in NSW, Australia, that the nature of these newly internationalised private prison corporations is neo‐colonialist, both economically and culturally. It can be compared with the expansion of the nuclear power industry by transnational US corporations in the 1960s and 1970s and other transnationals more recently. Using this perspective, the appropriateness of transnational private for‐profit prison corporations running prisons in Australia is severely questioned.
