If there are countries paying prison companies for number of prisoners held... then don't. Its basic economics of perverse incentive.
Instead, pay prison system for the number of years that a prisoner doesn't re-offend. This will be done in a logarithmic graph, up to the max that we are willing to
pay to have the prisoner not re offend at a future date.
So now, instead of private prison being paid to hold prisoners, they are being paid to keep prisoners out of prison.
Nothing more said.

Heck, cut out the middle man. Pay prisoner not to reoffend! Payment to prisoner would be scaled according to potential profit accrued by reoffense - so public urination would be worth only a few $ / month, but forgery would probably be worth several thousand / month. |

“You ain't seen nothin’ until you've been in an /American/
prison. Lemme tell ya… They're so desperate to keep
people from coming back in, it's just about the closest
thing to Hell on Earth in there. Made the time I did in
Istanbul look like Disneyland by comparison.” |

Contrary to popular belief making prisons hellish is
actually ineffective in preventing recidivism. For
evidence look at the difference between recidivism
rates between US and European jails. |
