They may be referring to a bit more than that. Most inmate supplies, from clothing to blankets to mattresses to hygiene supplies, comes from one company called Bob Barker - no affiliation with the TV personality. There are just a few companies that supply canteen/commissary services. Construction is done by just a few companies.

Things like that may be what they are referring to.
