Pretty sure Oregon did something similar but like…what are these people going to do without commissary? Making it not involuntary doesn’t really mean prisoners aren’t forced to do it so they can have things like shower sandals so they don’t get trench foot. Every con is still choosing to work for a pittance because they need it to survive in prison. But it’s OK we no longer legally allow slavery.
