That's actually not generally true. It seems to me that If the government cares about prison abuse, it's relatively easier to make that a contracting criterion and switch contractors (or ban contractors) than to top-down reform an entire system that is run by the state.
I looked for but haven't seen any statistics, but I've heard of horror stories emanating from non-private state-run prisons just as from private prisons.
