Wrong. If you the economy is a pyramid with plentiful workers at the bottom and scarce increasingly skilled workers as you go up, if you put prisoners to work as labourers (plentiful workers), then you increase the economy and upgrade free citizens into higher tiers of the pyramid.

Of course free citizens are naturally more desirable than convicts who have to be watched over at all times or can only work within a prison compound.

For example a growing company hires out a prison as a production line for some menial task, pays the prison the same amount as they would a free citizen worker and promotes some of their workers to status of supervisor over the convicts. Many win, no one loses.
