>Even Ayn Rand said that government should only be in the military and judicial business, how did we end up to the right of her?

You didn't overall. The idea of left and right politics is a false dichotomy and false mechanistic analogy, but I get what you are saying.

I take issue with even calling these prison co's "private". Corporatist is more accurate. To be truly private there would also not be monopolies on lawmaking... police and judges should all be privatized. Government should be abolished and politician should no longer be a job option.

Those companies who lobbied along with politicians for unjust laws, like punishment for putting any substance in my body so long as I harm none, all ought to be branded criminal and punished themselves. This is the position[0] of consistent, anarchist libertarianism, and those such as myself who hold these positions are not fans of Ayn Rand BTW[1].
