I would wager some HN karma that people that are libertarian (classical liberal) likely see no major issue with this practice.

libertarianism contradicts classical liberalism

I think this is where I read the best argument for this (https://chomsky.info/government-in-the-future/) but I might be thinking of a different essay

For obvious reasons libertarianism has multiple meanings. Chomsky is close to anarcho-syndicalism (left) whereas what we commonly call Libertarian today is close to anarcho-capitalism (right). Relating to the article, the inmates are making a choice without direct use of force against them. Libertarians view this choice as voluntary.
