Yes, there are private prisons in California. The state has a number of private companies that operate correctional facilities under contract with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). These private prisons house a portion of the state's inmate population.

The government does not make any money off of prisoners. Most prisons in the United States are privatized institutional settings.
There are over 100 prisons in the UK, including public and private prisons. These facilities house individuals who have been sentenced to serve time for criminal offenses.
100,000
publicly funded prisons get all of there money from our very own tax dollars
What exactly do you mean by privatized? State prisons are, as the name says, run by the state government, NOT the national government. So the answer to your question is No. Privatization is defined as any businesses ownership that is transferred from the public sector (government and state run things) to the private sector.
Advantages: The advantages of private prisons is possibly more funding, if the private owner or company is backing it up, and is not subject to the state or national funding. More attention is also given to the prisoners, therefore a smaller chance of fighting or riots. There are also more specialized programs to help the prisoners build different skills. Im not sure of any disadvantages, though. Hope that helps, xD DISADVANTAGES: Private sector's focus is on the bottom line. They're out to make money, and they find every way to do it. I once walked into a private prison and truthfully nearly passed out because of the heat. They let the inmates swelter to save money--sick, sick, sick...
private sectors are people that pay to eat such as : cafe restaurants cruise ships nightclubs prisons pub holidays
