That would assume felons were ever "monetized".

I mean, plenty are (of the Wall Street kind), but we're far from demonetizing them.

The private prison system is, in many cases, state-sanctioned slavery. Prisoners are very definitely monetized — and not just by the $15/minute phone calls to their loved ones.

Private prisons monetize prisoners, so releasing someone is demonetization. (I joke ... sort of.)

Prisoners are monetized via slave labor.
