GUEST,Civilian BS: Civilian Inmate Labor Program (25) BS: Civilian Inmate Labor Program 22 Mar 07


Do any of you know about the U.S. Army's "Civilian inmate labor program?" The document can be found at the Army's website. The document uses the term "prison camp" more than a hundred times. Some excerpts:

1–5
Civilian inmate labor programs benefit both the Army and corrections systems by—
(1) Providing a source of labor at no direct labor cost to Army installations to accomplish tasks that would not be possible otherwise due to the manning and funding constraints under which the Army operates.
(2) Providing meaningful work for inmates and, in some cases, additional space to alleviate overcrowding in nearby corrections facilities.
(3) Making cost–effective use of buildings and land not otherwise being used.

2-1
The Army is not interested in, nor can afford, any relationship with a corrections facility if that relationship stipulates payment for civilian inmate labor.

2-3
Army military or civilian personnel may oversee the work to be performed by inmates or inmate labor details.... Oversight is defined as telling inmates what they must do by specifying work to be accomplished.

3-2

Installation commanders will not initiate formal discussions with correctional systems representatives to establish civilian inmate prison camps on their installations. Installation commanders are not authorized to negotiate with these representatives without first obtaining HQDA approval to proceed. Once approval is granted, installation commanders may enter into negotiations....
