$3 an hour - the proposed wage - isn’t exactly a king’s ransom. On its face, it’s not such a bad idea to pay people more than gulag wages to get productive work out of them.

They also get paid for going to school, and being in occupational programs.

Max security prisoners in NYS are only allowed 2 packages a year. Wages are used to buy food, socks, underwear, toothpaste etc from the commisary. Their prices are not cheap.
