Well, the inmates can presumably pass it to the staff who can then pass it to their families. And that's not considering whether or not the inmates in question actually deserve to be there. The way things work in this country, it wouldn't surprise me if a significant chunk of them don't.
Considering a lot of American prisons are operated as for-profit businesses, and some prison institutions in the U.S. have penalty clauses they can fine the states for if occupancy drops below a certain percentage, I wouldn't doubt that for a moment. Frankly, it's just one more thing that should never have been allowed to happen.
