Preferred term

inmate volunteers  

Definition

  • In recent years, prison administrators have made increasing use of inmate volunteers to run a range of inmate programs. By using prisoners to staff these activities, prisons are able to continue offering courses and programs that they would otherwise be unable to provide due to budgetary problems and overcrowding.
