But have hammered the policies of some European countries as open slather etc. I'll grant you this one - I don't recall the discussion well enough, just the general 'why would you want to try a policy that has failed in {country}' attitude applied to everything bar something you support, in which case you can always dig up a country where it hasn't failed completely and ignore countries where it has been a disaster.??? I am in favour of drug liberalisation.
Even in this case you want to ignore the US and Australian experiences and concentrate on the UK experience.
In the end, if the public system is slightly less efficient but DOESN'T result in massive miscarriages of justice I can't see the argument for the 'efficiency' of prison privatisation. You're just excluding the prisoners from your evaluation and saying cheaper is always better.
