wasn't this the background plot conflict of A Scanner Darkly ?
like the addiction treatment centers were using the conscripted laborers with amnesia from carceral programs to grow the illegal drugs that were flooding the streets and creating addicts with amnesia.
its not a 1 to 1, but it's got that ouroborus vibe of the prisoners forced into reproducing the prison thing.
I dig 60s acid head sci-fi, but I am not interested in living it.
AFAIK that was based on the real story of a cult masquerading as a narcotics treatment program and rehab system abusing and enslaving the people it was given by the state. I think Trueanon did a series on the guy behind it, because it ultimately evolved into the "troubled teen" industry and those fucked up torture/labor camps? I may be conflating two separate things here though.
