Put low risk prisoners to work.

Hell, during the war we put German POW's to work doing this. They seemed to prefer it to just sitting around the barracks.

My grandfather worked with some of those POWs south of Nampa, ID. Up until a few years ago, the old wooden guard tower from one of the camps still stood just east of Highway 12 south of town.
