The trend for states to outsource prison healthcare has met opposition from inmate advocates and legal aid groups. They fear quality of care will suffer, while others debate whether outsourcing care saves any money. Corizon, the largest U.S. private prison healthcare provider, says it definitely delivers savings. "We are the model because we've been doing capitated rates since we've been in business. Our cost per individual is significantly less than in the 'free world,' "says Corizon CEO Rich Hallworth.
各州将监狱医疗服务外包的趋势遭到了囚犯权益倡导者和法律援助团体的反对。他们担心医疗质量会受到影响，而其他人则在争论外包医疗服务是否真的能省钱。美国最大的私人监狱医疗服务提供商科里izon公司表示，这肯定能节省开支。科里izon公司首席执行官里奇·霍尔沃思说：“我们是典范，因为自公司成立以来，我们一直采用按人头计费的方式。我们每个囚犯的成本明显低于‘自由世界’。”
