I don’t really like that prison labor is used for consumer products.

However if prisoners would like to be part of voluntary labor units that do outdoor work like tree plants, reservoir digs, and other public good/infrastructure building that would be useful and not competitive to private firms.

I’m not sure i care at all about “prison jobs” that require them to clean dishes, prepare their own food, or wash their own clothes. That is a boohoo complaint to me.

Texas limits commercial labor to products that are sold or traded with other government entities, so it's a matter of interpretation as to whether that's unfair competition (since those entities would otherwise need to purchase those goods in the free market)

Corruption not competition
