>> Here it is (from http://www.hqda.army.mil/webs/acsimweb/ops/inmate.htm):
>>
>> Civilian Inmate Labor
>>
>> The Army has established civilian inmate labor programs on twelve installations
>> since FY 89. Four resident programs (prison camps) are at Fort Bliss, Fort Dix,
>> and Camp Atterbury. Eight non-resident (off-post) programs are at Parks Reserve
>> Forces Training Area, Red River Army Depot, Fort Lee, Fort McClellan, Fort
>> Stewart, Fort McPherson, Fort Indian Town Gap, and Anniston Army Depot. Fort Dix
>> has two resident programs (prison camps) using civilian inmates from both
>> federal and state penal systems. Camp Atterbury's resident program uses state
>> civilian inmates. These ten programs average an annual net cost avoidance
>> ranging from $263,000 to $3,500,000.
>>
>> Inmate labor does not interfere with the installation's operation and mission.
>> Civilian inmates provide a source of labor to Army installations to accomplish
>> needed tasks that would not otherwise be possible under current manning and
>> funding constraints. Inmate labor is intended to augment the Army's civilian and
>> military work force and contractor effort. Inmate labor does not displace an
>> existing in-house or contractor work force. The Army does not pay direct labor
>> costs for inmate labor but does incur equipment, materials, supplies,
>> transportation, and program administration costs to use inmate labor.
>>
>> Services provided by inmates are defined by 18 USC 4125(a) and include
>> preservation and maintenance of grounds and facilities; construction, repair and
>> demolition of buildings; road repair; custodial services; and transportation of
>> debris to recycling centers. Only minimum security inmates are available under
>> the Army's civilian inmate labor program. Army personnel do not provide security
>> supervision of inmate work details, but do monitor and account for inmate
>> presence or absence in an assigned work area.
>>
>> Installation inmate labor programs are established via a memorandum of agreement
>> (MOA) between the installation and the local correctional facility. The
>> installation also develops an inmate labor plan governing operation of inmate
>> labor details on the installation. The MOA and inmate labor plan are forwarded
>> through command channels to HQDA for approval.
>>
>> OACSIM manages the civilian inmate labor program and is finishing a regulation
>> covering policy and procedures for civilian inmate labor.
>>
>> Army's use of inmate labor is now limited to federal civilian inmates. No
>> federal statute allows military installations to accept inmate labor from
>> off-post state and local correctional facilities. Numerous installations wish to
>> use civilian inmates from state or local correctional facilities off-post. A DOD
>> Services working group is drafting a legislative proposal to gain support from
>> labor unions, the Department of Labor and the State Department before presenting
>> the revised proposal to Congressional staffers.
>>
>> Section 1065 of the FY 95 Defense Authorization Act allows the Army to conduct a
>> demonstration project until October 1996. This demonstration project tests the
>> feasibility of using Army facilities to provide employment training to
>> nonviolent offenders in a State penal system before their release from
>> incarceration. The Army has selected Forts Bragg, Hood, and Campbell as test
>> sites. Functions performed by state civilian inmates will be similar to
>> those performed by federal civilian inmates. State civilian inmate use will be
>> governed by the same policy applied to federal civilian inmates. Such policy
>> covers supervision, non-DOD employee interference in inmate labor details, type
>> of inmates allowed on inmate labor details, and use of facilities and land. Each
>> test site is negotiating an MOA and inmate labor plan with their respective
>> correctional facility.
>>
>> Overall, commanders with civilian inmate labor programs have been pleased with
>> civilian inmate labor results. The Federal Bureau of Prisons in particular is a
>> cooperative partner and active participant in the commander's base operations
>> support mission.

>> Nine installations have taken advantage of Civilian Inmate Labor Program in the
>> pursuit of innovative and economical methods of providing base services.
>> Employment of civilian inmate labor benefits both the Army and correctional
>> facilities. The Army receives labor to accomplish tasks that would not otherwise
>> be possible under current manning and funding constraints at no direct labor
>> cost to the Army. Correctional facilities benefit because the Army provides
>> meaningful work for inmates and, in some cases, furnishes additional space
>> to alleviate overcrowding. Programs may involve using civilian inmate labor from
>> off-post correctional facilities or from prison camps located on the
>> installation. Sources of civilian inmate labor are limited to federal
>> correctional facilities, unless the correctional facilities are located on post.
>> Using inmates from off-post state or local correctional facilities is currently
>> prohibited; however, legislation is pending to regard these facilities as a
>> legitimate, no-cost direct labor resource.
