because private companies can pay their employees less and are therefore 
cheaper?

because the government is not liable in case of abuse?

because someone had a friend that could influence that decision?

because it was fashionable?

because it is not a task for the government?

BTW In GB prisons are/were also privatized. Group 4 was famous for 
running some prisons a few years ago. Actually I don't know how it is here.
