Allowing the dev to continue work from prison would benefit the dev and help them live a better life after finishing their sentence, rather than making money for the prison industrial complex at the dev’s expense.
In any country they would be more likely to be thrown in a government-run prison, even in the US, but you’re right that a lot of countries will still not allow prisoners to engage in independent business ventures. Especially in the US where the government would rather use their prisoners for slave labor.
Because the system isn’t about keeping prisoners occupied or satisfied, it’s a punishment. Forcing someone to continue working in their passion project is t a punishment.
It’s not like all work is the same so therefore there’s no difference. Putting that aside, if the system worked and truly focused on rehabilitation, how is putting them back to work doing what they already were doing going to help them rehabilitate their violent tendencies?
They admit they were very violent and hurt many people. Something needs to be done, why would they something be the thing they’re already doing for fun/money?
A system based on rehabilitation would probably not prohibit work on passion projects. Rehabilitation isn’t just about stopping the bad thinga, it’s equally as much about encouraging the good things - which would probably be work on a passion project or a job they enjoy doing to smoothen their transition back into society.
What if they were able to work on it from lockup? I know it won’t happen, but the system is gonna make them do work anyway, so why not this?

As in, they probably won’t let him do it right?
Basically, what does the more than likely, for profit prison, get out of them allowing this. Nothing, so they won’t.
