Just exactly WHAT jobs are being done for private companies??? Making license plates in all the states I know of is done by the correctional facilities. The rest of the jobs were all pertinent to the running of the prison. Just because there was TALK of using inmates for ag labor did not make it happen.
Frankly if you are in PRISON (not jail for the less than scummy folks of the world) then you are doing well to get three hots and a cot. You apparently think that felons ought to be treated in a way that does not acknowledge the fact that they have violated society’s laws.
While I do know some felons ( long story not interesting) I will tell you straight out that most ordinary citizens know ZERO folks who have ever served time in prison. Obey the law or suffer the consequences. Do not complain to me about it
I once had a client that manufactured all the components for office furniture and seating systems, etc. to sell as kits to prison systems that used inmate labor to assemble them. They were then sold to state offices by various states across the country.

I know the Texas state prisons years ago used prison inmates to farm on their properties. The food produced was used in feeding the staff and inmates. In bounty yield years, the surplus vegetables would be sold to local markets at a nominal price. ....Don’t know if they still do that.
At any rate, the prisoners preferred being outside and being productive rather than being cooped up in a 8x10 all day; and they ate well.
