According to https://limelightgaming.net/forums/showthread.php?tid=5980 one of the reasons that woodcutting was implemented and made so that it made more than contraband was to encourage people off basing and using contraband and to allow for a passive money-making route.

"We decided to implement this because we had too many people simply using contraband, and those who did not enjoy aggressive roleplay were unable to make much money and quickly becoming bored. While this doesn't have as high a maximum profit as, say, an advanced meth farm or running a good casino, it is still very formidable."

By making contraband worth much more it encourages people back inside, and ends up in police having to deal with raids rather than the other crimes that they deal with. Currently contra takes 0 effort in comparison to the wood which requires you to be there constantly in order to get the reward of the wood.
