You can buy death row inmate's art at the San Quentin gift shop

I don’t think I could buy something at that gift shop with a clean conscience.

I agree with the sentiment, but there’s an even broader issue.

Federal Prison Industries

As of August 2016, UNICOR operates 66 factory operations within 52 federal prisons, nationwide, offering more than 100 products and services in 80 Federal Supply Classifications (FSCs), in areas including clothing and textiles, electronics, fleet management and vehicular components, industrial products, office furniture, recycling activities; and services including data entry, computer aided design (CAD), and distribution.[11][12] While UNICOR’s customer base consists primarily of federal government agencies, it also collaborates with private sector companies to support their subcontracting needs. It offers qualifying U.S. manufacturers domestic facilities and inmate workforce resources to repatriate their operations, with costs comparable to those of offshore production and other benefits.[13]

Quite a bit of the US economy is based on enslaved labor.
