_GOD_ ,
There is nothing wrong with inmates performing work "at will". Absolutely
NOTHING wrong with such a thing, in fact they will most certainly benefit
from working "at will".
The problem is that they could not even obtain employment in the free
market, EVEN AS SLAVES.
So get your fucking facts straight, because U-R-A-Dumbass.
Society benefits from it, and inmates benefit from it as well. You guys act
like it's a big joke and then ***** about all the crime. Dont be complaining
about crime when you're doing all you can to fan the flames.

Slave labor of prisoners used to salvage timber.

Stone County inmates are helping salvage some of the timber knocked down
by Hurricane
Katrina. They're busy turning storm damaged trees into valuable lumber.
A vocational program for prisoners, now offers a lesson in processing
logs.
Kerry Keller mans the "Wood Mizer L-T 40." The portable sawmill turns
pine logs into
useable lumber. "Wood Mizer" of Indiana brought a portable sawmill to
Stone County as
part of its storm relief efforts.
"Trying to help out with hurricane relief wherever we can. This sawmill
and edger is
set up to try and reclaim some of the timber around," said company
spokesman, John
Hicks.
Stone County inmates are getting a hands on lesson in lumber processing.
Running the
sawmill is now part of the vocational training program.
"It's taken me about one day of instruction to learn it. It's really an
easy piece of
equipment to use,"
said inmate Kerry Keller.
He and his fellow inmates appreciate the training opportunity.
"You've got a lot of people who don't have a lot of skill for doing
manual labor or
any other type of stuff. This gives them a chance to learn a trade that
they can take
to the world and use when they get out," he said.
There is plenty of timber to salvage. More than 80 percent of Stone
County is forest.
And Hurricane Katrina knocked down thousands of trees all across the
county.
Logs from the Mississippi Forestry Commission are being processed just
outside the
prison yard. There are some restrictions about using the prison work
crew.
"We can cut timber for the county, city or the state with inmate labor.
But we cannot
do it for the private sector," explained warden Dwain Brewer.
Whatever timber is processed at the prison will boost the amount of
useable wood
products already in short supply.
"And that would help out a lot to reclaim some of this and put it right
back into
rebuilding down here," said Hicks.
