They may not be thrilled when they run out of conscripts and have to draft other men, but they've built up an image of this as a great patriotic duty. It's often compared to World War II, where they fought off Hitler. It's why the "Nazi" rhetoric lands so well. The comparison seems absurd from outside, but it's entirely believable to them. So he's happy to dump prisoners while he can, but the war won't end when the jails are empty.
