I don’t exactly have that much of an issue of it being privatized as much as I have an issue with having them be for profit. Of course it’s all fickle with what you encourage with money, but I feel like the aim should be to encourage rehabilitation of the inmates, so psychological treatment, opportunity to study so they can become a productive part of society again, etc and the funding should be based on that, but that could also backfire in some ways.

It can pretty much only backfire. By privatizing you’re effectively saying we don’t want or expect to have fewer prisoners in the future.
