Prison Industries
Prison Industries refers to programs within correctional facilities that provide inmates with work opportunities. These programs aim to teach job skills, promote rehabilitation, and reduce recidivism by preparing inmates for employment upon release. Inmates often produce goods or provide services, which can include manufacturing, agriculture, and various trades.
The products and services generated by Prison Industries can benefit both the prison system and the community. They can help offset operational costs of the facility and sometimes provide goods at lower prices. Additionally, these programs can foster a sense of responsibility and work ethic among inmates, aiding their reintegration into society.
