Note that there are certain requirements before you can effectively schedule prisoners to work.

They can use their money in Shops, for Contraband Trading or to buy protection from Gangs.

In exchange for paying a salary to the prisoners, they will perform various useful or profitable jobs inside the prison. However, the player is also in charge of a privately owned for-profit prison, and as such, it is possible to earn extra revenue by putting the prison inmates to work, through employment in Prison Labour. In Prison Architect, the player will normally receive money when taking in and housing prisoners in the form of an initial intake payout ($300-$3000/prisoner depending on security category) as well as a daily payout ($100-$300/day). Prison Labour allows you to use your prisoners to work around your prison (cooking, cleaning, and workshop duty) saving you on staff wages, earning you money, and teaching your prisoners new skills at the same time.
