Who is it that you think pays for the prisons that are profitable? Who is their customer?

I mean, you're saying here that somehow the state would get more money back from the private prisons than they paid them, so they could spend this surplus on courts?

I have no idea. If the state is the customer, who is running the prisons? (And why are prisons allowed to be run by a non-state entity?)
