Because they can't.

I would hope that the goal of this detention center doesn't center around who can do it the cheapest. It's supposed to be about public safety and rehabilitation. And the companies vying for this contract don't inspire confidence.

No they don't. The state has the advantage of not doing this for profit so cheapest is relative. A company with multiple centers across several states might have a cost advantage. But like you said, that Florida company is pretty darn shaky.
