Surveys must be done on each prison to see how many prisoners would qualify for a job training program. Illegals and lifers would not qualify nor those over a certain age - say 65.
What jobs would it be easy and inexpensive to train them for? They already decided computer training is a must. How many prisoners already know computers?
Some prisons already teach agriculture with prison gardens.
Some prisons already have jobs for prisoners.
In the 1990s, 35 female South Carolina inmates were hired by subcontractor Third Generation to sew lingerie for Victoria’s Secret and JCPenney.
Federal Prison Industries, better known as Unicor, enlists prisoners at 89 different factories across the country to create uniforms, bedding, shoes, helmets and flak vests for the United States military. Ironically, prisoners are also responsible for making the paper targets that military and law enforcement use for firearm training.
Unicor employees are also responsible for creating everyday products for civilians, such as office furniture, batteries, extension cords, surge protectors, solar panels, safety goggles, sheets and blankets and, yes, license plates.
More than 800 inmates in 26 different states are in charge of producing reading materials for K-12 students — but these aren’t typical textbooks. The National Prison Braille Network is responsible for transcribing reading materials into Braille products for the blind. All prisoners involved in the program are certified by the Library of Congress.
Florida’s Prison Rehabilitative Industries and Diversified Enterprises (PRIDE) trains 4,000 inmates in the Sunshine State to produce and provide more than 3,000 products and services — including harvesting the state’s famous oranges, which account for 74 percent of the country’s supply.
Inmates at PRIDE Citrus are certified by the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agriculture Sciences and receive training in equipment operation, machine maintenance and repair, diesel and gas mechanics, welding, low-volume irrigation, fertilizer/pesticide application, scouting and pest identification, grove safety, tree planting and care and harvesting.
Other agriculture units employed through PRIDE include sugar cane, cattle and land management.
Colorado Correctional Industries (CCI) oversees approximately 60 inmate work programs, including making everything from file cabinets to office chairs. The most unexpected offerings, however, are fiberglass and redwood canoes.
