Your Sunday morning reading project - Civilian Inmate Labor Program

:tinfoilhat:-time, Girls and Boys. Grab a cuppa coffee, settle in for an interesting read on what your government has been planning.

Your assignment this morning is to read Army Regulation AR210-35, which was updated on January 14, 2005. The title is "Civilian Inmate Labor Program." You can find little gems on every page. Even the Table of Contents makes for good reading.

Here's a few passages I thought were interesting:

Section 2-1(b). The Army is not interested in, nor can afford, any relationship with a corrections facility if that relationship
stipulates payment for civilian inmate labor.
Section 2-3(6)(c). Services provided to installations. Services provided to the installation must be in accordance with 18 USC
4125(a). Such services are constructing or repairing roads; clearing, maintaining, or reforesting public land; building
levees; or constructing or repairing any other public way or works financed wholly or in major part by funds appropriated by Congress. Inmates may perform custodial tasks, building demolition, debris removal, mowing, landscaping, painting, carpentry, trash pickup, transporting debris to and from recycling centers, and other similar
activities. No other services are allowed by law.
In the Memorandum of Agreement, Section 4(r) Inmates will not have access to or use phone lines or fax fax machines, computers/computer systems (and any other restrictions to the local Federal corrections facility may place on inmate use.)

I'm sure pleased to know my government is prepared for any eventuality. :sarcasm:
