Complete speculation, but it probably has to do with how Americans look at the use of their tax dollars. To Americans, setting up prisons where prisoners are in suites, and can leave on weekends, it sounds nicer than the lives of some free people! All of this on the American tax dollar also. Why reward prisoners for breaking the law, so make prison terrible.
