I work in a jail, I have internet access, but am not allowed to have my phone on me. Websites want me to switch to passkeys. So does Apple. How would I sign into a website or account that has a passkey if I will never have my phone with me to authenticate? I cannot use my work computer to create the passkey, I can’t only log into accounts that I am allowed to use.

The best option for you would be a hardware-bound passkey on a device such as a Yubikey which could fit very easily on your keychain.
While some services do not support it, one of the most important features of this new ecosystem is that you should be able to add multiple, even many, passkeys to an account. This can be for convenience, but is also there in case one is lost or stolen. Otherwise, one would need to fall back to passwords and (potentially weak) 2FA which would defeat a lot of the benefits of the passkeys.
