For profit prison labor is in the gray zone, approaching a bad line.

Not opposed to prisoners working, it's beneficial to everyone.
Not even opposed to them working for free or very cheap in a capacity
of providing their own keep.

Working them at less than prevailing wages(especially min wage) in a
for profit business gets close to slave labor.

And as per Dutch's post, unfairly competes with legitimate businesses.
