How will inmate work crews affect the availability of jobs for local youth?
Measure 17 (which was passed by Oregon voters in November, 1994, and went into effect April 1, 1995) requires that all inmates spend 40 hours per week in work or on-the-job training programs. Based on information available from other Oregon facilities, jobs performed by inmates are typically labor intensive and are not adequately funded to pay at prevailing minimum wage. Experience indicates that jobs done by inmate work crews have no impact on jobs available for youth.
