Forcing the US incarcerated population into high-labor jobs would lower US gov't expenditure on prisons and incentivize companies from outsourcing labor jobs overseas.
A nation with an economy dependent on cheap prison labor would be more inclined to imprison arrested citizens, reinforcing America's incarceration rate, which is already the highest in the world.

The United States should implement a social welfare program both dedicated to repairing historic racial injustice, but open to all needy citizens
Opening accessibility to federal funding on the basis of racial prejudice is a non-quantifiable condition. There is no ability to measure which Americans are the biggest sufferers of racism.

The death penalty is wrong.
The right to a fair trial includes the right to appeal a sentence. That right guarantees no specific outcome, but it protects a citizen's right to attempt. Immediate execution is unconstitutional.

Plants should have the right to vote.
Plants are not citizens. They do not pay taxes, and therefore are not granted the rights that human citizens are granted, including voting.

Studies have shown that filling an inmate's day with work keeps their mind occupied, lowering instances of adverse activity and violence. Teaching them skills they can apply after release also lowers the rate of recidivism, contributing to rehabilitation for society.

Irrelevant Conclusion
Forcing the US incarcerated population into high-labor jobs would lower US gov't expenditure on prisons and incentivize companies from outsourcing labor jobs overseas.
As of 2010, working couples paid an average of $500 in taxes that were used for corrections, cumulatively, for federal, state and local institutions. If the prison system was a closed ecosystem, that tax burden could be carried by the incarcerated themselves, loosening taxes on struggling families.
