Proponents of privatization claim that private prisons can provide: A quick response to facility overcrowding. Higher quality and more cost-effective services. Improved conditions of confinement. Economic growth in the communities where new private facilities are built. The primary ways private prisons sustain their profits include: low pay, limited staff training, and other cost-cutting measures that can lead to unmet inmate needs and security issues. There are also significant issues with the government’s ability to effectively monitor the private prisons. Although the desire for a quick solution to overcrowding is to contract with private prisons for bed space, secondary rationales include cost savings and improved services. In addition, states and local jurisdictions seek partnerships with prison companies to establish private facilities as a way to boost their economies. Because corrections systems are supported by state and local funds, the fiscal crisis required government officials to either significantly scale back spending on prisons, jails, and local community corrections or make cuts in more politically popular areas of government options, such as education, health care, and environmental protection

Question
Business Financing
Michael is a contractor who typically receives payment for his work via bank transfer. For his latest January 2024 project, the client accidentally issued a cheque instead.

Thesis and Introduction Revision Assignment Instructions
Overview
The proper use of logic in writing involves using both proper content and proper form. Legal writers must be able to identify main arguments and make them clear and concise. They must also be able to edit their work to avoid extra words and jargon. Arguments should focus on making statements rather than asking questions. This assignment will provide the opportunity to revise an argument so that it provides proper transitions and steps of reasoning while also being grammatically sound.
Instructions
Analysis
Read the following thesis statement below. Analyze the statement based on the overview above. Identify the central argument the author attempts to establish, and determine whether clearer and more concise words can be used to make the argument. Once you have identified the central argument, use legal reasoning either in deductive or inductive form to organize the paragraph in support of the central argument in a grammatically and logically correct manner.
Thesis/Introduction
As Americans we must abide by many laws. Some are federal, while others are state or local. One however must ask what if we don’t abide by the laws of the land? It seems that we the people are quick to incarcerate those who break the law. Placing people in jail as the first option is leading to over population within the justice system. The prison system is suffering from over population due to individuals being incarcerated for minor drug charges in comparison to the crime committed. If alternative punishments are utilized by the court systems, the number of people torn away from their jobs and friends and families and society will decrease and as a result the economy and social health of the country will flourish.
Writing Submission
Your final written submission should not simply include the rewritten paragraph; instead, it should first provide the original paragraph. Then, commit your analysis to writing by discussing the central argument that you believe the author is attempting to make and whether there is a clearer, more concise way to make the argument.
Next, provide your reordered/reconstructed paragraph, ensuring that it makes non-emotional, logically coherent arguments. The argument must emphasize reason. Make sure to revise the grammatical mistakes as well. Finally, using appropriate definitions and examples from your reading materials, provide a detailed explanation of whether your revised paragraph is inductive or deductive.
The assignment does not require any additional research on the topic, except that which is provided in your reading. Your draft submission should include a title page, in-text citations, and a reference page in APA format. No abstract is needed.
Please consult the Thesis and Introduction Revision Grading Rubric as well as Liberty’s APA Format Quick Guide for the proper formatting. The APA Format Quick Guide can be found in the Thesis and Introduction Revision Resources section of the Thesis and Introduction Revision Assignment page.
