Usually what happens is for-profit prisons say "if you keep it at X occupancy, we can incarcerate people at Y cost."

Part of where the corps make their money is just like how the hotel industry does. If you've got more cash, you can get nicer stuff. Want smokes, candy bars, a television? Just buy it at incredibly high mark ups. As long as you've got someone putting money in your account.

It's like someone asked "how can we get somebody to pay $4 for a candy bar?" And somebody answered "incarcerate them!"
