Concept information
Preferred term
prison labor
Definition
- Prison inmates rarely enjoy control over their labor in the ways that ordinary members of civil society take for granted. In many countries, prisoners are viewed as having legal duties to work, meaning that they can be compelled to work, though limits exist on the extent of that compulsion.
