Obviously, if these are the license providers we have known today, it's impossible that a license will be given to operating a casino inside the premises of a prison. If you are referring to big bosses in the prison, they can operate gambling operations inside even if it's illegal, of course with the help of big people outside.

I have no idea what is legal and what is not when it is about casino licensing. If it's a crypto gambling site then it can operate without having any license but they will need to build a good reputation over the years which is not as easy as to have a valid license.

Haven't we seen such gambling idea in Undisputed movie series?

What if prisons were given license to operate a casino will it be safe for inmates .

Who or what are you referring to that will give a license to operate inside the prison?

Here in our country before, gambling is a normal thing in the biggest prison here that is operated by big fish with the help of politicians. You will never feel that you are inside the prison because of the environment you will see there inside. However, because of some "expose's", that was all changed now.

Was it being run by the same people? Did that incentivise the same gangs to get arrested/rearrested or commit crimes? I imagine it would do.

If you knew someone inside the prison leading a better life than you from the money they have that they could take out of the prison with them, maybe that's reason to commit a crime for when you get released with more money, having not paid for much while inside.

Aside from that if it was more informal and pooled (like poker is) then I don't think there's much wrong with it - but then it probably couldn't be made illegal either without a very specific bill.

But it's already have been shut down for decades now and no casinos have been running on any prison in the US. And it you look at it, that was the time wherein casinos are controlled by the mob and I would say that they have much influence in the gambling industry in that era that prison warden could have been "bribe" to let prisoners gamble. And who knows, maybe there is a mafia boss incarcerated in that prison and so he just wanted to have some fun inside.

What if prisons were given license to operate a casino will it be safe for inmates . A similar incidence happened between 1932 and 1967 in Nevada State Prison. Despite not having licence to operate the casino existed for over 35 years and ever since then nothing of this kind has ever occurred.

Quote

Throughout its 35 years, various wardens either tolerated the casino or considered it a worthwhile distraction for the inmates. This changed in 1967 when a bill in the State Legislature to prohibit prison gaming was defeated in the Senate. Shortly thereafter, the State Prison Board used its authority to close the casino. The sandstone building which housed the casino was demolished.

It is interesting to note that this casino had no licence and wasn't recognised by the Nevada gaming authorities but the inmates ensured there was no cheating there by creating a self policing system.
