US Army Civilian Prisoner Work Program

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Civil inmate work program of the US Army (English: Civilian Inmate Labor Program ) is a program of the United States Army , which is described in Army Regulation 210-35. This ordinance, first drawn up in 1997, was subjected to a "rapid act revision" in January 2005 and is a guideline for the creation of work programs and prison camps in US Army facilities. The prisoners work under the supervision of the Federal Office for prisons ( Federal Bureau of Prisons - FBOP).

Work programs

In the Civil Prisoner Work Program, low-security prisoners work in facilities under the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

The Army Ordinance 210-35 stipulates:

  1. Army guidelines for the establishment of civilian prisoner labor programs and civilian prison camps on Army facilities.
  2. Civil prisoner work at federal and state level.

The ordinance states that work programs benefit the Army and Correctional Facilities by providing "a source of labor with no direct cost to the Army", "doing meaningful work for inmates", alleviating "overcrowding in nearby correctional facilities" and taking advantage of otherwise unused Land and buildings.

The purpose of the regulation is:

This policy provides military guidelines and guidelines for the establishment of civilian prisoner work programs and civilian prison camps in army facilities. Sources of civilian inmate labor are limited to:

  1. On- and off-post federal correction options
  2. State and / or local law enforcement agencies operating from downstream detention camps under the leases under Section 2667, Title 10, United States Code, and allowing all camp residents deemed a public interest by the Secretary of Defense to be used for this program.
  3. Off-post facilities participating in the demonstration project approved under Section 1065, Public Law (PL) 103-337, otherwise state and / or local inmate work by off-post correction facilities, are currently excluded from this program.

The ordinance states that inmates can do the work according to 18 USC 4125 (A).

Prison camp

The regulation also sets the policy for the creation of prison camps in army facilities. These would be used to keep work program inmates residing in the facilities.

In January 2006, Kellogg, Brown and Root announced that they had received an assignment from the Department of Homeland Security to expand facilities "in the event of an emergency immigrant influx into the US" or to assist in the rapid development of new programs. A news article published in February 2006 commented that the “new programs” mentioned above could include the Civilian Inprisoner Work Program.
