The prisoners appreciate being outside, in any weather. Some assignments are prison gardens, and surplus is shared with vulnerable elders, or Head Start, horse or cattle farms. Less desirable are corporate farms (Eggland's Best, Coosaw Farms) because of chemicals and brutality, not just for animals.

Other work options are in-house, and prisoners like being in the kitchen, especially on fried chicken days, laundry, which is brutal in summers, janatorial, washing cop cars but it's still outside. Prisoners like working trades because they get training and often market rate pay, which a lot goes to room and board, but some to savings, so if they're careful and don't spend all of it in canteen and phone calls, they do manage to leave with something.

It's ugly, mind and body breaking, but believe it or not, recidivism is high because people come out so institutionalized, they can't function outside of prison. And it's not just PoC, it's largely working poor/lumpenproletariat, but lumpenproles are crafty enough to work out a deal with people in power over them or effectively social engineer their way into more favorable terms, including device use, running gang activity on the outside.

This is unhinged
