For prisoners like Olson who will probably never get out of prison you can handle them like you handle old agers living in extended care facilities where you direct their pension to their upkeep. But for prisoners who are going to get out and are past their retirement age, you almost have to keep paying them.
I would expect that this will get challenged in court.

I could be mistaken, but I believe it's only talking about cutting off their payments while they're incarcerated.
