Good for Germany. I'm glad their prisons are well run. You know how when a politician gets asked a tough question they avoid answering and immediately pivot to a trope where they have a couple talking points they can hit? Well that's what you just did. Prisons should be rehabilitating prisoners but the punishment vs rehabilitation debate is an almost completely tangential issue from public vs private. I don't think private prisons are necessarily good, they seem to suffer from the same "the government doesn't cut and run from bad vendors" issues that many other things government contracts out do, but there is a legitimate pro/con debate to be had over whether the entity sending people to prison should be under the same umbrella as the entity administrating and in some cases profiting off of (massive conflict of interests!!) prisons.
