Riassunto

This book discusses whether prison inmates should contribute to society and work or instead be exempt from labor as part of their punishment. It draws on information and statistics gathered by the author from federal sources, government reports, and local prison data. The author's findings show that prison employment has been on a steady decline, with only 61% of prisoners working in 1923 and even fewer in 1928. The author examines the reasons for such widespread idleness in prisons, primarily stemming from poor management and industry opposition to competition in the free market. Different systems of employing prisoners are presented, with evaluations of each. Case studies are provided to illustrate the various prison employment programs and their outcomes. The author advocates for more vocational training and work programs in prisons as a means to reduce recidivism and prepare inmates for post-release employment. The book concludes with a deep dive into the ethical and practical dimensions of whether prisoners should be expected to work.
