Yeah, the prison has robots everywhere. Acumen calls them "remote units." They cook, clean, fix up the buildings when someone gets into a fight and breaks things...they even do laundry!
But they try to make the people with the chains on do laundry and other chores, too. [Looks around briefly, seeing if any are coming their way.] If you don't want them to make you do things, then you have to avoid them. It doesn't always work, though.
