I'd add to that list the fact that the US already imprisons more people that any other nation. The last thing we need to incentivize longer prison sentences by granting prisons lucrative contacts for slave labor. It's not just the private "for profit" prisons that take money in exchange for making prisoners work for private companies, public prisons do as well.
