The problem isn’t private ownership of prisons it’s about your War on Drugs and the laws YOU help pass which are incarcerating so many people. You apparently think it’s okay to exploit prisoners for the profit of the public service unions representing prison guards—groups that lobby to increase sentences in order to up the demand for prison guards. You seem to think its okay to imprison so many provided unions benefit but not private owners. Changing ownership isn’t what is needed, changing the laws is and that can’t be done with you in office.
