An Iowa inmate injured while working in a prison industry received workman's compensation, a decision by Industrial Commissioner Robert Landers that could set a landmark precedent. The 23-year-old from Sioux City, serving time for bad checks, will receive about 1900 dollars in disability benefits for four fingers lost in a press accident. The ruling suggests prisoners may qualify for compensation under state law despite absence of a formal employment contract. The decision is expected to be appealed to higher courts to clarify inmate rights under workman's compensation.
