If California citizens get hurt on the job, they're eligible to collect workers' compensation. But, in an exclusive investigation, Eyewitness News discovered that prison inmates who are hurt while working in prisons can also collect on the benefit when they're set free.
On top of paying the benefits to inmates, the state also pays nine full-time employees roughly $500,000 in salaries each year to work specifically on inmate workers' compensation claims.
The State of California has every conceivable Dept. of Safety for whatever.
Yet we spend Billions on injured workers.
It almost makes you wonder if there isn’t a little fraud involved /s
