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.
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.
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.
