If it doesn't become more profitable, it'll never take off. Our (state and federal) governments are so transparently for-profit, not for-service.

Put a profit on lack of recidivism. If it's a private prison make them also include post release programs and if people coming through do not return into the criminal justice system within a certain amount of years have bonuses earned.

The state would control these contracts and could draw them in a way that rewards good results.

Alternatively - take the profit motive OUT of the criminal justice system. Prison execs getting bonuses for their former inmates’ good behavior is another tick toward “dystopia” for me. “Prison exec” is already something that shouldn’t exist.
