“…To study the evolution of AGB stars, we use a version of the Mount Stromlo Stellar Structure Program (Wood and Zarro 1981) with updated radiative opacities (Rogers and Iglesias 1992). Conductive opacities are calculated from a program supplied by McDonald (1992) which uses opacities from various sources (Hubbard and Lampe 1969, Iben 1975, Itoh et al, 1983, Mitake et al, 1984, Raikh and Yakovlev 1982. The change in entropy of the convective envelope during third dredge-up is treated using Wood's method (1981).…”

“…The not‐for‐profit sector can also be involved as the primary nongovernment operator of a custodial institution. This is particularly so in the case of juvenile institutions in the United States (McDonald, ). In such cases, they also may contract in some services from the private sector or even from the government sector.…”

Research Summary In this historical review of prison privatization, we identify interconnected events in the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom and their distinctiveness from other nations. The political and economic catalysts for the post‐1980 reemergence of privatization are also analyzed. Privatization exists on a continuum from ancillary service delivery to full custodial operations and management. As privatization seems to have lost some of its momentum, it is unclear whether its advent has produced the intended system‐wide improvements. Policy Implications Modern privatization spawned an enormous amount of research in which a comparison of the private and public sectors was attempted. Despite the plethora of research, the findings are mainly inconclusive. Policy makers should focus on privatization as a subset of mainstream prisons research, with investigation of system‐wide key issues like confinement quality, preparation for release, and accountability. These matters bear, in turn, on outcomes such as reduced recidivism and the ability to lead a useful life postrelease.
