Does a private institution have the right to hold an American Citizen against their will. This can be both a moral and a legal argument. The laws of the United States are established by elected officials and are to be enforced by government officials. Should those officials be able to turn over their authority for enforcing laws to a private institution. These for-profit corporations are normally operated by a board of directors and are not subject to the will of the voters as would be an elected official. Therefore, the private institutions are somewhat protected from the citizens who voted for those who make and enforce laws. While some may argue that it is legal to turn over the authority for incarceration, it is curious that the ability to carry out the death penalty is not allowed in any private institutions in the country. If the practice is morally and legally acceptable, why would private institutions be afforded all of the tools available to public
