Are Private Prisons More Cost-Effective Than Public Prisons? A
Meta-Analysis of Evaluation Research Studies

The results revealed that private prisons were no more cost-effective
than public prisons, and that other institutional
characteristics--such as the facility's economy of scale, age, and
security level--were the strongest predictors of a prison's daily per
diem cost.

Found this:
"A 2016 article by Anastasia Glushko (a former worker in the private prison sector[4]) argues in favor of privately owned prisons in Australia. According to Glushko, private prisons in Australia have decreased the costs of holding prisoners and increased positive relationships between inmates and correctional workers. Outsourcing prison services to private companies has allowed for costs to be cut in half. Compared with $270 a day in a government-run West Australian jail, each prisoner in the privately operated Acacia Prison near Perth costs the taxpayer $182. Glushko also says positive prisoner treatment was observed during privatisation in Australia by including more respectful attitudes to prisoners and mentoring schemes, increased out-of-cell time and more purposeful activities.[5]".
