> Is prison labor bad in all cases? Yes, all prison labor is bad in all cases. Why? It's very simple, you're creating a market that incentivizes incarceration. Prison should be about recovery of a human being and trying to create negative incentives so people think about making a crime (this is a bit debatable). When you create a market for incarceration, what you're saying is "we don't want to lower crime". So yes, it's bad in all cases because we should be creating incentives to lower crime instead of how to make it profitable.
