It's sad that as a society we've allowed those who are serving their time to be exploited, but this is a good way to fight back, and hopefully make exploitation of the imprisoned a less lucrative market for unscrupulous actors.
Exactly my thoughts! Really, we shouldn't have prisons at all, or any against-one's-will system. Just take a look at Chicago. With the new attorney general, they've made it a policy to "go easy" on the violent crimes. The bottom line is: no one should be in prison, regardless of the "crime".

Then what do you suggest we do with people who are harming people or their property? Speak firmly at them? For pretty much all of human history you have had three options for those who damage peace and society ... death, exile, and jail.
Exile isn't really an option anymore so that leaves death and jail...
