    Extend minimum wage laws to inmates. If you’re going to make them work, you have to pay them at least minimum wage.

    You can garnish their wages to cover victim restitution, child support, alimony, judgments, etc, so they might not be the ones actually receiving the money. But you will be paying them.

        It’s constitutionally permitted, not constitutionally protected. Congress, or the states, can legislate it away.
