Leveling the Playing Field in Texas
Texas law provides powerful tools to hold private prisons accountable. Unlike government entities, private operators are not shielded by governmental immunity. This means they can be held liable for negligence and other civil wrongs, just like any other business. Additionally, recent court rulings have chipped away at common defenses used by private prisons. Medical contractors can no longer claim qualified immunity, and courts are increasingly willing to find patterns of abuse even without formal written policies. This opens the door for seeking punitive damages against the companies that run these prisons.

Private Prisons: Accountability Matters
Private prisons raise concerns about profit motives potentially impacting inmate well-being. This section explores how the legal system holds these facilities accountable for neglect, abuse, and rights violations.

Unlike government-operated prisons, private prisons can be sued for these wrongdoings without the shield of governmental immunity.
