Actually i'd be against prisoners working. Since there is now a market in imprisoning people you'd basically develop an underclass of cheap labour that grew larger and larger. Most people in prison shouldn't really be there. Legalize drugs and and end illiteracy and you could eliminate around 70% of crime. There are also a larger number of mentally ill in prisons.
I'm a right libertarian who happens to smoke weed and believes the Drug War is BS. Matter of fact I'm pretty stoned right now lol.
Well I'm unsure of whether the labour should benefit the public or the prison industrial complex but I'm thinking of a new idea pertaining to Government run prisons. Let's say some scumbag lets locked up for rape. The rape victim is gonna need a shedload of therapy, so the convict's labour should be used as proceeds to funding the victim's therapy. Another example is if someone does a B&E then that person has to pay for all the damages with prison labour. This could be good for Government run prisons.
