There are a lot of rules and regulations which do not apply to prisoners. Likewise there are a lot of rules and regulations which only apply to prisoners.
It’s not unreasonable to treat prisoners as a unique population / special case. They are not incarcerated so that they can continue gainful employment.
Prisoners should not be getting paid to cook, clean, do laundry, etc. to help operate the prison, for example.
My understanding was jobs that provided for options to work outside the prison (like cleaning up roadside garbage) were coveted chances to get outside and maybe earn some time off for community service.
Court ordered community service can also be a reasonable punishment instead of incarceration.
