Labor Secretary Targets Prison Labor Industry
Secretary James J. Davis announced a campaign to eliminate prison labor competing with free labor. He urged vocational training for convicts and stated prison-made goods should not be marketed, even for government use. He cited 84,761 inmates with under 10,000 outdoors and criticized contractors paying low rates and using price systems that undercut free workers. He warned this practice harms workers and increases future crime.
