State and federal prison wage policies and sourcing information


This table details pay scales and wage policies that apply to incarcerated people working in state and federal prisons, along with sourcing information available as of April 10, 2017. It was originally
published as an appendix to the April 10, 2017 blog post "How much do incarcerated people earn in each state?" We welcome additional or updated information.

For this table, prison work assignments are divided into two broad categories. "Regular jobs" include all jobs operated and paid for by state correctional agencies, except for industry jobs. Most regular jobs support the institutions through custodial, maintenance,
laundry, grounds keeping, and food service work, although they vary widely. Work camps, commissary jobs, and other less common or off-site jobs are also included in this category for this table, although it should be noted they are often paid higher wages than more
common prison jobs. "Jobs in state-owned businesses" include assignments producing goods and services that are sold to government and non-profit agencies. They are often referred to as "Correctional Industries" jobs. Excluded from this table are jobs working in
private industries (through the PIE program) and jobs paid for by community or other state employers, such as highway work or other community work release jobs.
