A quick search shows that it is still a thing. However, I’m reading stories from former service employees that are saying that (at least with their company) it was a program, and offered employment to prisoners when they got out, which is good. Not to pretend that it’s a-ok to underpay them while they’re in, but if it gives prisoners a legitimate avenue of employment upon release I can’t shame it too harshly
Oh wow, so it’s been a thing for a while now.
