The cost must be negligible compared to the total costs of imprisonment.

Yeah, but a for-profit prison doesn't want to pay that extra cost if they can avoid it. Kinda like how in a lot of states there's a constant tug of war between Medicaid and Corrections over who is responsible for which medical treatment for which inmates. Not just for trans stuff, but for everything.
