That's not what the stat says. It says 17% of the prison labor did that job, not that 17% of the labor for that job was prisoners.
Here's the quote for ya:
"...agricultural work constitutes a
greater percentage of work assignments, such as
in Arkansas, where 17 percent of job assignments
for incarcerated people were in agricultural work in
2021."

But tell me again how I'm nonsensical.
