I don't understand, in that article it points out that Alabama allows this without pay, but then later in the article said Alabama is one of four that doesn't allow this...?

Yes, it's odd. I think this snippet from the second article about the four states might shed light:

"The approved measures will not immediately change the states’ prison systems, but they could lead to legal challenges about prisoners being forced to work or facing sanctions or loss of certain privileges if they don’t."
