What is industrial correctional facility?

An industrial correctional facility is a correctional facility that has been built or converted to serve the purpose of providing labor to industries. These facilities can be found in many states and are typically operated by private companies. Inmates who work in these facilities are paid a small wage for their labor, which is often far below the minimum wage. It is believed that working in these facilities provides inmates with valuable job skills and real-world job experience that can help them obtain work after they are released from prison. However, critics argue that these facilities exploit prisoners for cheap labor and do little to rehabilitate them. Some people also argue that the use of industrial correctional facilities contributes to the growth of the prison industrial complex.
