Can't viable organs only be harvested from living bodies? Did they harvest them from prisoners, or did they just cut up the bodies for fun?

No. How long after death they can be usefully harvested for tranpslant very much depends on the organ. Not long, though. Within hours in most cases, and more than a day in some. https://www.blade.com/how-long-are-organs-viable-after-death
