It all depends on whether the privatization is regulated or not. Private prisons can make 40,000 a year profit of each inmate... It's a big business for these companies to lock up and keep people locked up. So who is paying this 40,000? You and me an the taxpayers. I don't think a company should profit off the back of prisoners. Much like I don't think a middle man should profit off of sick people.
There are a bunch of examples where unregulated privatization has done much more harm than good.
