I'd say that I don't have a lot of sympathy for people in prison, but this will absolutely create a perverse incentive to throw more people in jail.
Similarly to choosing to be an organ donor on your driver's license: never do it. It creates an incentive for a doctor to let you die so that your (extremely valuable) organs can be harvested.
There is already a perverse incentive: cheap labor. See Kamala keeping prisoners to fight fires for 2 dollars an hour vs hiring actual firefighters and paying them.
Well, that's dystopian beyond belief. And, if it takes effect, it's only a matter of time until sentences mandate donating organs.
