They are paying for the whole thing! Do you think private prisons raise money for donations to pay for prisoners to subsidize the public out of the good of their heart?

Are you assuming that prisoners deserve to be slaves and that their labor should be free?

Yes either prison labor should be free or they should foot the bill for their costs to society. The second is more fair to society but a worse deal for prisoners
