I think not. My info is from the 90s and 2000s. But I am sure the benefits are worse in the private sector. Typically the states pay a very good pension that privates don’t come close to.

In Cal and NY the unions have bribed politicians for decades and that keeps the pay higher than the privates. In NM where I consulted the privates paid 87% of the state and they had a newer facility.

Perhaps for the inmates. But not for corrections officers - else they would support private prisons - they don’t. Unless their union rep gets a kickback from the state.
