History of Prison Industries The six systems of inmate labor used in the twentieth century:
• Contract system – Private business paid to use inmate labor. They provided raw materials and supervised the manufacturing process inside prison facilities.
• Piece-price system – Goods were produced for private businesses under the supervision of prison authorities. Prisons were paid according to the number and quality of the goods manufactured.
• Lease system – Prisoners were taken to work sites under the supervision of armed guards. The private contractor employed them and maintained discipline.

History of Prison IndustriesThe six systems of inmate labor used in the twentieth century:
• Public-account system – this system eliminated the use of private contractors. Industries were entirely prison owned, and prison authorities managed the manufacturing process. Goods were sold on the free market.
• Public-works system – Prisoners maintained roads and highways, cleaned public parks and recreational facilities. They also maintained and restored public buildings.
• State-use system – Prisoners manufactured only goods that could be used by other state offices, or they provided labor to assist other state agencies.

Today’s Reality• Prisons are overcrowded due to lack of funding to build new prisons.• We now have more people in prison per capita than any other country
in the world.• Over 2 million people are behind bars.• Cost of incarceration per offender averages $30,000 annually.• Cost to build each cell averages $60,000.

Today’s Reality• 50% of the State DOC inmates who will be released this year are
likely to recidivate within 3 years.• 50% of men and women committed to DOC have not earned a
diploma or GED. • The average reading level at intake is between 6th-8th grade.• Inmates drop out of public school because they were convicted of a
crime, had academic or behavioral problems, or lost interest.
