The problem I see here is that the inmates and their families don't have a word to say in what company is managing the prison logistics. The ones who decide are the prisons themselves, so they don't care if the inmates and their families get even more milked, all they are incentivized to care is their commissions (so JPay and consorts are encouraged to milk even more the inmates to please the authorities). So it's an example where the free market doesn't work.
