        Theoretically, none, including the United States. In practice, all of them. They are all Capitalist nations, and under Capitalism companies weaponize their massive pool of wealth and resources to push for favorable laws. Thus, any nation with for-profit prisons will see those prison companies perform some type of lobbying.

          Unfortunately, Citizens United essentially makes it legal. In most other developed countries, it’s not nearly as simple. Not saying corruption doesn’t happen, but in many countries it’s punishable if it comes out. In my country an MP was investigated for buying a car because she received a discount from the dealer and thought it was normal, but it was considered a potential bribe.
