40 Hour Work Week for Prisoners
Last week Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY) introduced the Inmate Work, Education, and Responsibility Curriculum Act (I-WERC) that would provide grants to state and local correctional facilities to implement a 40 hour work week for inmates. The idea here is for prisoners to spend their time learning responsible work ethic and bettering their education. The hope is that inmates will be better prepared to face reentry into society.
