Inmate labor costs rise hit North Augusta and Aiken cities
South Carolina DOC raises inmate labor from six to ten dollars per day to cover a twenty eight million dollar budget shortfall. North Augusta City Administrator Charles Martin warns the increase adds eighteen thousand seven hundred twenty dollars to next year’s budget as park and facility work relies on inmate crews. Aiken City Manager Roger LeDuc says eighteen inmates daily staff parkways and gardens, a change that could force higher hourly wages if inmate labor ends. Both cities note former inmates have joined municipal workforces, some advancing to crew chief roles, and deem the program crucial during tight budgets.
