   So how do they profit from this legally? I'm   
   not sure I agree with inmates being permitted   
   to profit from their imprisonment. If the   
   funds generated by their industry go into a   
   pool for the benefit of all, perhaps I could   
   go along with it. Cash in the hands of inmates   
   usually equates to buying favors, drugs, etc.
