I have the honor to transmit herewith a report on prison labor in
the United States in 1940, which was made as the result of a joint
resolution by the Congress authorizing the Bureau to collect informa­
tion on the quantity, kind, value, and disposition of all goods produced
in Federal and State prisons. It is a continuation of similar studies
of prison labor made by the Bureau periodically since 1885, the last
previous study having been made in 1932.

PR E F A C E
Pursuant to a request of the Congress, the Bureau of Labor Statis­
tics has recently completed a survey of prison labor in State and
Federal prisons of the United States. Similar surveys have been
made at intervals of 8 or 10 years since 1885. The primary purpose
of this study was to determine the quantity and value of the several
kinds o f articles produced or work done b y prisoners during the 1940
fiscal year, together with the system under which the goods were pro­
duced or disposed of, and the number o f prisoners so employed.

The survey was directed and the report prepared by Richard F.
Jones, Jr., under the general supervision of Herman B. Byer, chief of
the Bureau’s Division of Construction and Public Employment.
The Bureau wishes to express its appreciation to the various State
and Federal officials, as well as their office personnel, for their whole­
hearted assistance and courteous reception of the Bureau’s agents.
Acknowledgment for valuable suggestions is also extended to the
Federal Bureau of Prisons, the Bureau of the Census, and the Division
of Statistical Standards.

Prison Labor in the U nited States, 1940
Sum m ary

The various systems under which State and Federal prisoners have
been employed and the disposal of the goods produced in prisons have
for many years received the active attention o f organized labor, prison
authorities, manufacturers, legislators, and others familiar with prison
problems. There has been strong opposition to the sale of prison-made
goods on the open market in direct competition with the products of
free labor. Those States which wished to restrict the inflow of prisonmade products were hampered in their efforts by the fact that, under
the Constitution, control of the interstate transportation of goods
rests in the hands of the Federal Government.
In i929, however, Congress passed the Hawes-Cooper Act, which

divested prison-made goods of their interstate character and thus
enabled any State to prohibit within its borders the sale of goods made
in the prisons of other States. This act became effective in 1934. In
the years immediately following the enactment of the Hawes-Cooper
Act, a large majority of the States restricted, by law, the sale and
movement of prison products.
The Ashurst-Sumners Act, which became effective in 1935, ma­
terially strengthened the Hawes-Cooper A ct and also supplemented
State prison-labor legislation. It prohibited the transportation of prison
products into any State in violation of the laws of that State. In
1940, the Congress went one step farther and enacted legislation, to be
effective in October 1941, which, with certain exceptions, prohibits
the transportation into any State of prison goods made in another.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has made surveys o f prison labor at
8- or 10-year intervals since 1885. A comparison of the 1940 survey
with that for 1932 shows the changes which have occurred in the
amount o f prison labor and the volume and character of production
since the Hawes-Cooper and Ashurst-Sumners Acts became effective.
The average number o f prisoners under sentence in State and Federal
prisons increased from 158,947 in 1932 to 191,776 in 1940. During
the same period, the average number of prisoners productively
employed changed but slightly from 82,276 to 83,515. Thus, the
proportion of all prisoners productively employed decreased from 52
1

percent in 1932 to 44 percent in 1940. Contractors employed less than
1 percent of those productively employed in 1940, as compared with
16 percent in 1932. Furthermore, in 1940 only 12 percent of the
employed prisoners produced goods which were sold for State account
on the open market, in contrast to 19 percent in 1932. Approximately
88 percent of the productively employed prisoners in 1940, as against
65 percent in 1932, were engaged in constructing or improving public
property and in producing goods for use within the same institution or
for sale to other State or Federal institutions or departments.
The decrease in the proportion of productively employed prisoners
was accompanied by a 25-percent drop in the value of prison produc­
tion— from approximately $75,369,000 in 1932 to $56,732,000 in 1940.
The average annual value of product per employed prisoner declined
from $916 in 1932 to $679 in 1940, or 26 percent.
A m ajority of the prisoners without productive employment in 1940
(constituting 36 percent of all prisoners) were assigned to maintenance
duties. Six percent of the total prison population attended school as
a m ajor daily assignment, 8 percent were sick or otherwise unavailable
for work, and 6 percent were available for work but had no duties
provided.
T o offset losses in revenues and to alleviate the grave problem of
idleness among prisoners, various solutions have been tried. Among
the m ost effective have been surveys of State-use markets, the creation
of prison-industry boards, commissions, or corporations, and State
legislation tending toward compulsory purchase of prison goods by
State agencies. Federal institutions and State institutions of 27 States
(12 of which employed salesmen) reported that in 1940 they made
some attempt to promote the sale of prison-made goods. Typical of
the methods reported are the circulation of catalogs and the coor­
dination of prison production with the needs of State purchasing
officers.
Scope and M ethod o f Study

The 1940 survey* included 125 State and 25 Federal prisons; in
addition, 3 county prisons and 1 city prison, which by arrangement
with their respective States house State prisoners, were included
with the State prisons. These totals included 2 State prisons (the
reformatories for women in Arkansas and Rhode Island) and 1 Fed­
eral prison (the prison camp in the State of Washington) which had
no productive activity in 1940, but excluded 6 Federal prisons which
were not in operation during a m ajor portion of the fiscal year. The
coverage was complete therefore, for all Federal and State prisons for
adults which were in operation during the major part of the fiscal year.1
Although all figures in the survey covered a 12-month period end1 For a complete list of the prisons surveyed, see table 6. To simplify tabulation and analysis, the penal
institutions of the District of Columbia have been considered as State institutions.




SYSTEMS OF WORK

ing in 1940, the end o f the fiscal year occurred in different months in
the various prisons. The 129 institutions housing State prisoners
terminated the fiscal year on the following dates: 6 prisons, M ay 31 ;
87 prisons, June 30; 7 prisons, September 30; 10 prisons, Novem ber 30 ;
and 19 prisons, December 31. All data for Federal prisons covered
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1940, except those for farm products
which were reported for the year ending Novem ber 30, 1940.
Agents o f the Bureau visited each of the 154 institutions covered
and personally examined the records and interviewed the prison
authorities.

The figures on production were in most cases obtained from the
books, invoices, or other records of the institutions and referred to
the quantities produced during the year covered. Allowance was
made for sales in excess of production, and inventory increases were
estimated on the basis of average selling prices during the fiscal year.
In some cases, where goods were transferred from the shops to the
steward’s department within the same institution at net cost of
materials, the Bureau’s agents in conference with prison officials
substituted a market value based upon such factors as (a) the prison’s
sale price for identical or similar articles, (b) the current wholesale
price of the commodity on the local market, and (c) the current whole­
sale price in the nearest city for which data were available.
The value of construction projects covered only that portion con­
structed dining the fiscal year. Valuations were usually based upon
appraisals by highway commissions, engineers, State appraisers, or
private appraisers employed by the State.
The production data include some unavoidable duplications. For
instance, wheat which is reported under farm production may be
processed into cereal and bran and reported under grist-mill produc­
tion. Part of this latter product may be fed to livestock which in
turn shows an inventory increase on the prison records. Sugarcane
may be included under farm production and again, after being proc­
essed, as sirup and raw sugar.
System s o f W ork

Over the period since 1885, when the Bureau conducted its first sur­
vey of prison labor, prison-made goods have been produced under six
systems of work. A description of the various systems follows.
State-use system .— Under this system, an institution conducts a
business of manufacture or other production, but the use or sale of the
product is limited to the same institution or to some other State or
Federal institution or department. Such other State institution or
department may be under the control of the State proper or any of its
minor subdivisions. This system also covers the sale of goods to an
institution of another State. The principle of the State-use system is to




4

1940

make the prison product available to public institutions but to avoid
direct competition with free-labor products.
P ublic works and w a ys system .— This system is, in effect, the same
as the State-use system, the only difference being in the character of
the work performed. The public works and ways system applies not
to consumption goods, but to the construction and repair of prison
and other public buildings, roads, parks, bridges and to such kindred
work as flood control, reforestation, and land clearance. This work is
all of a more or less permanent character as distinguished from purely
maintenance and repair work.
State-account system . — Under this system the prison operates a man­
ufacturing business or other productive enterprise and disposes of the
product on the general market in competition with goods produced by
free labor. If the business is one of manufacturing, the institution
buys the raw material, sells the finished product, and assumes the
business risks in the same way as a private manufacturer. However,
the product may be disposed of in part under the State-use system and
in part under the State-account system. T o illustrate, part o f the
flour and bran milled in a prison from wheat it has raised m ay be
consumed within the institution and the rest sold on the open market.
Contract system . — Under this system an outside contractor contracts
with the institution for the labor of prisoners at a stipulated amount
per capita per day. The institution houses, feeds, and guards the
prisoners, and the contractor furnishes the raw materials and generally
his own foremen, machinery, and tools.
Piece-jprice system . — This system differs from the contract system in
only one respect: The contractor pays the institution on the basis of an
agreed price per unit of product rather than per unit of labor.
Lease system .— Under this system, which is no longer operative in
State and Federal prisons, the prison enters into a contract with a
lessee who agrees to receive, feed, clothe, house, and guard the prison­
ers, and to pay the State a stipulated amount per day per man.
T w o distinct trends in prison labor are apparent from the Bureau’s
surveys. First, the systems o f work which permitted the exploitation
of the prison population for private gain have practically disappeared.
Second, the proportion of prisoners productively employed has
decreased consistently.
In 1885, 74 percent of the prisoners productively employed were
working primarily for the benefit of private contractors. Table 1
indicates the steady decrease in this percentage through the years.
The lease system, the most condemned of all, had disappeared b y 1923.
In 1940 no prisoners were foimd working under the contract system
and iess than 1 percent were employed under the piece-price system.
Inversely, the percentage of productively employed prisoners work­
ing under those systems wherein the State exerts all control and




5

SYSTEMS OF WORK

receives all benefits has risen from 26 percent in 1885 to slightly less
than 100 percent in 1940. M oreover, efforts to restrict open-market
sales and direct competition with free labor have been reflected in a
sharp decrease in the percentage of inmates working under the Stateaccount system. True, there was an upswing between 1905 and 1914
caused by the understandable and oftentimes necessary efforts of
authorities to offset the losses in revenue resulting from the large
decrease in the number o f prisoners employed under the three con­
tract systems. But, as restrictive State statutes began to appear in
increasing numbers, it was generally recognized that the complete
adoption o f the two types o f State-use systems should be the ultimate
goal. As a result, in 1940 only 12 percent o f the productively employed
prisoners were engaged in producing goods for sale to other than public
institutions and agencies. The percentage o f the employed prisoners
producing exclusively for public use rose from 26 percent in 1905 to
88 percent in 1940, having jumped 23 percent since 1932.
Unfortunately, this commendable effort to supplant all other systems
b y the State-use aud public works and ways systems has resulted in
a very marked decrease in the number o f employed prisoners. Whereas
in 1885, 75 percent of all prisoners incarcerated in State and Federal
prisons were productively employed, in 1940 only 44 percent were so
engaged.

The ascendancy of the two types of State-use systems at the expense
o f those under which goods flow to the open market is strikingly shown
in table 2 also. The value of production under the former systems
rose from approximately 38 percent to 84 percent of the total between
1923 and 1940, while the value of goods produced under the latter
systems declined from a high of 62 percent to a low of 16 percent.
Especially significant is the curtailment in the production volume, in
the two types o f contract shops, to only half of 1 percent of the total
value in 1940.

The value of State-use products was 61 percent higher in 1940 than
in 1932. The rate o f increase was faster during this period than
between 1923 and 1932. A drop of almost $8,500,000 in the value of
road construction in 4 Southern States— Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
and Virginia— was primarily responsible for the noticeably large de­
crease in the value o f public works and ways construction between
1932 and 1940.

Trends in P rison Population , E m ploym ent, and Production

The prison population o f the State and Federal institutions surveyed
increased 88 percent between 1923 and 1932 and 126 percent between
1923 and 1940, according to figures in tables 3 and 4. The correspond­
ing increases since 1923 in the estimated total population o f the
United States were 12 percent by 1932 and 18 percent by 1940. The
number of persons under sentence in these prisons had in 1940 reached
a point where it approximated 1 in every 500 of the total population
16 years of age and over.
Despite efforts to spread the work and to establish new outlets for
prison products, the indexes o f prisoners productively employed and of
value o f production do not reflect the increases in the number under
sentence. In fact, although there was little change in the value of
production between 1923 and 1932, the value of 1940 production was
only 75 percent of that in 1923.
A greater increase in the number of prisoners productively employed
than in the total prison population indicates a more extensive use of
available prisoners, but a greater increase in value o f output than in
number employed denotes a more intensive use o f those employed.
In State prisons o f only two States— New Jersey and Oregon— were
there increases between 1932 and 1940 in both the percentage employed
and the value o f product per employed prisoner. In all other States,
either employment failed to keep pace with population or production
failed to keep pace with employment.
In every State there were increases in State prison populations
between 1923 and 1932 which ranged from 5 percent in W yom ing to




P O P U L A T IO N , E M P L O Y M E N T , A N D

193 percent in the District o f Columbia. In 1940 only 2 States—
Rhode Island and W yom ing— had fewer State prisoners than in 1923,
but 15 States had a smaller penal population than in 1932.
State institutions in 6 States in 1932 and in 15 States in 1940
employed a smaller number o f prisoners than they did in 1923. There
were 28 States which furnished productive work to fewer inmates in
1940 than in 1932. Between 1923 and 1932, 17 States, led by Idaho,
showed a greater percentage increase in prisoners productively
employed than in the total under sentence, while between 1923 and
1940 the indexes indicate that only 9 States accomplished this same
result.
Losses in the value of products suffered by State prisons in 22
States from 1923 to 1932 were largely offset by the gains made by
those in the other States, resulting in a net loss for all State prisons of
only 3 percent. The real depression in State prison production is
vividly brought to light in the data for 1940: between 1923 and 1940
a loss in total com m odity values of over 33 percent was sustained.
Production in 1940 was below the 1923 level in 28 States and failed to
reach the 1932 volume in 35 States. However, 12 States produced at
least 50 percent more in 1940 than in 1923; and for 7 of these— the
District of Columbia, Idaho, Louisiana, New Jersey, New Mexico,
Oregon, and Texas— the gain was more than 100 percent.
Reference to table 3 reveals that in the period 1923-1940 the State
prisons in 13 States suffered production losses of over $1,000,000 each,
which aggregated more than $31,000,000. Gains of over $1,000,000
each occurred in North Carolina, Louisiana, and Texas.
The total inmate population of the Federal prisons covered in the
1940 survey was almost 3K times that of the Federal prisons covered in
1923, but the number of prisoners productively employed rose only
95 percent in the same period. However, the value of product per
employed prisoner increased to such an extent that there was a gain in
total value o f 219 percent between 1923 and 1940. The value of
product per employed prisoner in 1940 was almost 80 percent higher
in Federal than in State institutions.
Data in table 3 show the great expansion in the number and locations
o f Federal institutions since 1923. In that year there were included
in the survey 3 prisons in 3 States, in 1932 there were 12 prisons
located in 9 States, and in 1940 there were 25 prisons distributed
among 20 States. In consequence o f this extensive building program,
there have been numerous transfers o f prisoners and changes in pro­
duction facilities. Indexes b y States under these circumstances lack
significance and have accordingly been excluded from table 4.

E m ploym ent Status o f Prisoners

O f 173,284 State prisoners under sentence in 1940, 76,775, or 44
percent, were productively employed. This ratio ranged from 7 per­
cent in Nevada to 81 percent in North Carolina. In only 15 o f the
States shown in table 5 were more than 50 percent o f the prisoners
employed in this manner. O f these employed prisoners 10,056, or 13
percent, were engaged in producing goods to be sold for State account,
this percentage being exceeded in only 20 o f the individual States.
The piece-price system utilized the services o f but 308 prisoners in
2 States— Florida and South Carolina.
In Federal prisons 36 percent o f the 18,492 inmates were assigned
to productive work, all o f which was carried on under the State-use
and public works and ways systems.
Prison duties or maintenance work were assigned to 35 percent of
all State prisoners in 1940, as compared with 47 percent o f those in
Federal prisons. Various authorities estimate that in the average
penal institution, not more than 25 percent of the inmates are actually
needed for this type o f work.
Some form o f supervised schooling was reported in the State prisons
of 37 States and in the Federal institutions o f 8 States in 1940.
Although 7 percent o f all State prisoners attended school, only about
1 percent o f the Federal prisoners did. These data include only those
convicts to whom school was a major daily assignment. In addition,
many prisoners in both State and Federal prisons subscribe to corre-

spondence-school courses which may also be used by other inmates.2
The proportion of idle prisoners was twice as high in State as in
Federal institutions in 1940, the percentages being 6 and 3, respec­
tively.3 On the other hand, 13 percent o f all Federal prisoners were
sick or otherwise unavailable for work as contrasted with 8 percent
of all State prisoners.

2 According to information supplied b y the Federal Bureau of Prisons, during the fiscal year ending June
30.1940, there was in educational activities in Federal penal and correctional institutions an average regis­
tration of 6,700 prisoners and 7,937 enrollments. The enrollments were divided as follows: A cadem ic classes
2,268, vocational classes 883, special unit courses 1,487, correspondence courses 3,299. As shown on table 3,
the average daily population of these institutions for the year 1940 was 18,492. Therefore, approximately
36 percent of Federal prisoners were registered in educational activities during the fiscal year ending June
30.1940.
3 Due to the practice of assigning more than 1 person to a job in both Federal and State prisons, the amount
of idleness in prisons in the United States in 1940 was undoubtedly far greater than the 6 percent for State
prisons and the 3 percent for Federal prisons found in the assignment sheets would indicate. See also
discussion on p. 12.

Productive employment was less common for female than for male
prisoners in State institutions in 1940. As shown by figures in table 6,
only 26 percent of the females in State prisons were productively
employed, whereas 45 percent of the male prisoners were so engaged.
Of the 54 State institutions housing women, 23 provided no produc­
tive work. However, in 6 States—Alabama, Iowa, Nebraska, Texas,
Vermont, and Wisconsin— the percentage of women employed
exceeded the average ratio for men of 45 percent.

In Federal prisons the ratio of females productively employed
(37.1 percent) slightly exceeded that of males (36.4 percent). Only
2 Federal institutions reported woman prisoners, however. Of the
individual prisons, the Federal Prison Camp at Mill Point, W. Va.,
furnished employment to the greatest percentage of inmates, while
the U. S. Naval Prison at Portsmouth, N. H., employed only 2 men
out of a total of 100.

Hours worked by productively employed prisoners tended to be
lower in 1940 than in 1932. In 1940, 60 percent of the employed
prisoners in State and Federal institutions worked 44 hours or less
per week; in 1932 this percentage was 55. Table 7 shows that in 1932
the greatest concentration of prisoners (44 percent) was in the range
of hours from 44 to 48, inclusive, but in 1940 almost an equally large
proportion worked from 36 to 44 hours, inclusive. In 1932, 22 per­
cent of the prisoners were assigned to work for 60 hours or more per
week; in 1940 the proportion with these hours had dwindled to 5
percent.

During the period 1932-1940 there was a notable reduction in the
working hours of Federal prisoners. Whereas in 1932, 67 percent of
the productively employed worked 44 hours or more, in 1940, 97
percent worked less than 44 hours.

1 Less than a tenth of l percent.

Examination of table 8 indicates that in 38 States the majority of
the productively employed prisoners in State institutions worked
44 hours or less per week in 1940. In 10 other States more than 88
percent of the prisoners were assigned working hours in excess of 48.
Most of the latter were employed on farms. It is apparent from the
wide distribution of hours that in most cases there has been very
little attempt to establish any uniformity of hours even within a
State. In general, shop workers are assigned relatively short hours
and road and farm workers receive the longer tours of duty. Reports
showed variations in hours among the different shops of individual
prisons and, in some States, among comparable shops in separate
prisons.
Data covering Federal prisons, on the other hand, reflect a policy
of uniformity in hours. In most cases, all prisoners in a State worked
identical hours in 1940. The small groups in Georgia and Pennsyl­
vania assigned to more than 44 hours were employed on farms.

I n d u s tr y

Of all inmates productively employed in State and Federal prisons
in 1940, 40 percent were engaged in manufacturing industries, 29
percent in construction activities, 26 percent in farming and kindred
land-use work, and 5 percent in mining and quarrying. Although
employment in State prisons as a whole followed these ratios closely,
there were wide variations among the individual States shown in
table 9.
The proportions of prisoners employed at manufacturing in 1940
ranged from 2 percent in North Carolina to 91 percent in Rhode
Island. Seven Southern States, with extensive construction and
farming programs each utilized less than 12 percent of its prisoners
at manufacturing. Only 2 States, Rhode Island and Minnesota,
assigned more than 80 percent of their prisoners to this type of work.
North Carolina led all States in 1940 in both the number and per­
centage of convicts working on construction, practically all of which
was road work. Nineteen States reported fewer than 25 men so
engaged.
Five Southern States— Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi,
and Texas— dominated the farming picture, each employing more




20

PRISON LABOR IN TH E UNITED 'STATES,

1940

than 1,000 inmates at this pursuit in 1940. Mining and quarrying,
with few exceptions, were rather unimportant insofar as the number
of prisoners employed was concerned. Only 3 States— Kansas, Ten­
nessee, and West Virginia— operated coal mines. In other States,
such as California, where the man-year quarry production was valued
at only $30 in 1940, prisoners were assigned to the quarry more as a
disciplinary or safekeeping measure than as a matter of full-time
employment.
Federal prisons operated no mines or quarries, and did relatively
little farming and land development in 1940. As a whole, these in­
stitutions assigned 52 percent of their employed prisoners to the
manufacturing shops and 34 percent to construction work. Georgia
and Kansas accounted for 64 percent of all Federal prisoners assigned
to manufacturing. Federal prisons in 3 States failed to use prisoners
on construction work, and in the remainder an average of 134 con­
victs per State was engaged in this type of activity.

o f P r o d u c tio n

To show the number of prisoners employed in producing various
types of commodities, the production unit used is in most cases synony­
mous with a prison shop. “ Type of production,” as used in table 10,
indicates the various types of daily work assignments commonly used
by prison authorities and therefore most suitable for obtaining
accurate averages of men employed.
The decline of over $18,000,000 in the total value of prison produc­
tion between 1932 and 1940 may be attributed mainly to the loss of
contracts by State prisons. In. the production of clothing alone, the




22

PRISON LABOR IN THE UNITED iSTATES, 1940

loss in State prisons amounted to over $15,000,000; and in the output
of furniture, to slightly less than $1,000,000. Despite a reduction of
31 percent in the value of goods produced in State prisons, it was found
possible by spreading the work to employ practically the same number
of prisoners in 1940 as in 1932. In the case of construction activities,
value of production declined 52 percent between 1932 and 1940, but
employment rose 26 percent. In the clothing shops, where the use of
machines restricted the spread of work, there was a loss of 55 percent
in the number employed, as compared with a decrease of 73 percent
in the value of product. In 1940 construction took first place (for­
merly held by clothing) in the number of prisoners employed and also
maintained its leadership in the dollar column. Second in volume of
employment and dollar value in 1940 were farm products, relegating
the manufacture of clothing to third place.

2 Included under appropriate type of production.

Examination of the State-prison data discloses a concentration of
both employment and value in a comparatively few types of products.
Of the 39 types of production, 19, each with production valued at over
$500,000 in 1940, employed 90 percent of the prisoners and accounted
for 90 percent of the value of all commodities. The value of metal
tags, highway markers, and signs rose well over $1,000,000 between
1932 and 1940, largely because in the latter year 40 States (an increase
of 14 over 1932) manufactured automobile license tags. In 1940, 34
percent more prisoners were engaged in the production of textiles and
textile products than in 1932, with an increase of only 9 percent in the
volume of output.
Between 1932 and 1940 the Federal prisons achieved an increase of
90 percent in total value of products, but of only 35 percent in the num­
ber of production workers. Although the rises in employment and
output were distributed among most types of production shown in
table 10, they are particularly noticeable in such classifications as
brooms, brushes; and mops; clothing; building construction; and furni­
ture. This last is a comparatively new industry in Federal prisons.

As the so-called “ industries” in prison are in most cases not com­
parable with those in outside life, it was necessary in making the
rough comparison shown in table 11 to allocate each individual prisonmanufactured article to the same classification as the particular in­
dustry in private business which is primarily engaged in making that
article. The values for private industry are totals for plants engaged
primarily in making the indicated products and do not include the
value of such articles made as secondary products in other industries.
The total value of prison production in the manufacturing industries
in 1940 was $32,317,997, less than half (0.38) of 1 percent of the total
value of private production in the specified industries during 1939.
In 43 of a total of 97 industries shown in table 11, the prison output
was more than one-tenth of 1 percent of that produced in private
industry, but in only 8 did it exceed 1 percent. Chief among these
were cordage and twine, brooms, and stamped and pressed metal
products, for which prison production was equivalent to 6.4, 2.5, and
2.2 percent, respectively, of private production in those industries.
The other classifications, each producing more than 1 percent were
work shirts, brushes, canvas products, jute goods, and cane sugar
(except that produced in refineries). In numerous industries, the
prison production was negligible.

SALE OF PRISON-MADE GOODS

Sale o f P rison -M a d e Goods

Of the $9,122,840 worth of goods manufactured in State prisons in
1940 under systems other than the State-use and public works and
ways, the figures in table 12 show that 75 percent were sold within
the State where produced and 25 percent outside the State. The
effect o f regulatory legislation may be seen by comparing these per­
centages with those for 1932 when 34 percent of such goods were
sold within the State and 66 percent outside. The relatively large
volume of goods sold outside the State in 1940 by the Alabama Prison
System was all marketed in South America. Among the States with
the greatest volume o f out-of-State sales in 1940 were Minnesota,
which sold cordage and farm machinery valued at $812,328; Oregon,
flax products valued at $114,747; and Missouri, shoes and rope which
had a combined value of $140,126. Kansas, Michigan, and South
D akota sold considerable quantities of cordage.
Sales within the State accounted for 75 percent of all production
under the State-account and 73 percent of that under the piece-price
system in 1940. State prisons in only two States— Florida and South

Carolina— produced on a piece-price basis, and only South Carolina
sold such goods outside of the State. No goods were produced under
the State-account system in the District of Columbia, Arizona, Ne­
vada, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, and a number of States such
as Idaho, New York, Tennessee, and West Virginia sold only excess
farm products produced under these systems.
Federal prisons in 1940, as in the past, produced only under the
State-use and public works and ways systems.4

Production Under Public W orks and W a ys System

The total value of construction under the public works and ways
system in State and Federal institutions during 1940 was $13,448,838,
according to figures in table 13. This work was responsible for the
employment o f 24,337 prisoners. M ajor repairs to roads, valued at
$4,116,934, employed the greatest number of prisoners, 12,385, while
3,929 inmates constructed new buildings valued at $4,393,276.
State prisons in North Carolina led those in all other States in
1940 by employing 7,202 prisoners on public construction valued at
$2,444,845; 93 percent of this amount represented m ajor repairs to
roads. State prisons in Georgia, Virginia, and W est Virginia, chiefly
through the construction o f new roads, each completed construction
valued at over $1,000,000 and employed large forces of convicts.
Whereas 13 States employed prisoners on new road construction in
1932, only 5 did in 1940. M aryland and Texas, with extensive build­
ing programs well under way at the beginning of the year, each re­
ported for 1940 new building construction appraised in excess of
$380,000. Only 3 States failed to do any work of this type during
the fiscal year. Alabama and Illinois used State prisoners extensively
on alterations and improvements to buildings. Pennsylvania, with
considerable sewer and steam-line construction, led all States in the
value of miscellaneous construction.
Federal prisons employed 2,271 prisoners at construction valued at
$1,831,035 in 1940. The construction o f new buildings represented

78 percent of the total valuation. Oklahoma, with new building con­
struction at the Federal Reform atory, exceeded all other States in
number of prisoners employed and value of construction.

Compensation to Productively E m ployed Prisoners

The Bureau endeavored to obtain information concerning amounts
paid to those prisoners who were productively employed. In 1940,
State prisoners of 18 States received no compensation for productive
work performed, while 30 States and the District of Columbia had
some system o f financial reward for such prisoners. In most States
these payments were purely nominal, ranging for the m ajority of
prisoners from 1 to 25 cents per working day. A few States made a
practice of distributing proportionately among the working inmates
part of the profits of the shops. Several States allowed “ industrial
good time,” 5 to prisoners employed at certain jobs but only one State
allowed as much as 1 day off sentence for each day worked. Federal
prisons, as a rule, had established more definite wage-payment policies
than had the State prisons.
STATE PRISONS

The variety of bases of compensating State prisoners made it
impracticable to tabulate the information obtained. However, the
principal methods of compensating the productively employed
prisoners in each State are summarized below.
6Time deducted from original sentence as one form of compensation for work performed.

A la b a m a . — Prisoners received no compensation except when, in
emergencies, t h e y were called upon for night or Sunday work on the
roads. For this overtime they received 15 cents per hour.
C a lifo r n ia . — The State Highway Commission paid men working in
the honor road camps $2.10 per day worked. Against this, the
prisoners were charged a pro-rated share of the camp expenses. In
the 6 camps the average net pay per working day ranged from 26.7
to 51.4 cents. No other inmates received compensation.
C on n ecticu t. — A t the State Prison for M en, first-grade prisoners were
paid 15 cents per day, but those in the second and third grades received
no pay. W om en’s Prison inmates were paid 10 cents per day for the
first 5 years and 15 cents per day thereafter. The W om en’s Reforma­
tory paid no wages.
D ela w a re. — The basic rate of pay at the Newcastle County W orkhouse was 10 cents per day. A few prisoners in skilled positions were
paid higher rates, with a maximum of 45 cents. W omen received
90 cents per month.
D istric t o f C o lu m b ia . — Prisoners were paid according to the pay
scale o f the jobs to which they were assigned. Jobs were classified,
not the inmates. Job-pay classifications were as follows: Grade A,
15 cents per day; Grade B, 10 cents per day; Grade C, 5 cents per day;
apprentice, no pay. A prisoner must serve at least 6 months before
he is eligible for a paid job. Only felons employed in “ industries” 6
were eligible for “ industrial good time” which was granted for excep­
tional skill and good conduct. Such felons in Grade A and B jobs
earned 2 days per month for the first year and 4 days per month
thereafter. Those in Grade C jobs earned up to 1 day per month the
first year and 3 days per month thereafter.
I llin o is . — Workers in the shirt factory at the Reform atory for
W om en and in some of the “ industries” at Joliet and Statesville were
paid varying amounts depending upon the production of the shops.
I o w a . — M ale prisoners received from 10 to 25 cents per day.
Females were paid 5 cents per day after serving 6 months.
K a n s a s . — M en were paid 4 cents per day, with the exception of coal
miners, who were paid 75 cents for each ton over a set task. W omen
received 5 cents per day.
K e n t u c k y . — All workers earned 8 cents a day.
M a r y l a n d . — A t the House of Correction, prisoners assigned to the
road gangs received $3 per month plus 5 days a month “ industrial
good tim e.” Those working in shops or on farms received $2 per
month plus 5 days “ industrial good tim e.” A t the State Penal Farm,
workers were allowed 5 days per month “ good time.” In the Peni6 “ Industries” represent those production shops which are generally included in a more or less formal
organization supervised by the prison warden or “ superintendent of industries.” They usually represent
the factory-' *ype of shop and do not include farms, maintenance shops, or construction work.

experts, 40 cents.
M a ssa c h u se tts. — W om en’s Reformatory inmates placed “ outside”
as domestics customarily received $1.25 per day from the employer.
A t the State Prison, 37}£ percent o f all profit from all the shops was

inmate depended upon his relative efficiency rating.
M ic h i g a n . — The Reform atory and the prisons at Jackson and
M arquette paid workers from 5 to 35 cents per day depending upon
skill and aptitude. The D etroit House of Correction paid both men
and women a flat rate of 10 cents per day.
M in n e s o t a . — A t the State Prison, prisoners working in the cordage
shop, print shop, and farm were paid 15 cents a day for the first 6
months, 25 cents for the second 6 months, and 30 cents thereafter.
An overtime bonus of 5 cents a day for time in excess of the daily work­
ing schedule was also paid. The farm-machinery plant and the
foundry paid on a piece-rate basis, with a monthly maximum of $15.
Workers at the M en ’s Reform atory received compensation ranging
from 6 to 25 cents per day, with an average per prisoner of 13)£ cents.
W om en’s Reform atory inmates were compensated at the rate o f 10
cents per day for the first 6 months and 15 cents per day thereafter.
For exceptionally hard work, such as milking or field duties, they were
paid 20 cents per day.
M i s s o u r i . — Prisoners at the State Penitentiary were paid from 50
cents to $3 per month, depending upon type of work and inmates’
ability. Young men at the Reform atory received 5 cents per day.
N e b r a sk a . — The Penitentiary paid bakery workers 5 cents a day and
those employed in the manufacturing shops 20 cents per day. In­
mates working in the metal, creamery, and shoe industries at the
Reform atory received 20 cents per day; no others were paid, but

They also received “ industrial good time” at the rate of 1 day per
full workweek. “ Lifers,” not being eligible for “ good time,” were paid
a flat rate o f 25 cents per day. Annandale prisoners were credited
with earnings at the same rates as prisoners in other institutions but
the money was turned into a canteen and recreational fund for the
benefit of all prisoners. Workers at Annandale were allowed “ good

could be earned in any 1 week.
N ew York .— A t Attica, prisoners in the “ industries” were paid
wages ranging from 5 to 30 cents per day. In the textile shop alone,
a piece-work plan was in use. Piece-work rates were so planned that
although the average piece worker earned approximately the same
amount as the average day worker in other industries, it was possible,
through more efficient performance, for a piece worker in any job to
earn up to the State law maximum of 30 cents per day. Compensa­
tion at Auburn Prison was similar to that at Attica except that there
was no piece work and the average pay in any one shop might not
exceed 20 cents per day. An average of 5 cents and a maximum of
10 cents was established for farm workers. A t Sing Sing, all inmates
employed by “ Prison Industries” were paid on a piece-work basis in
order to “ familiarize the worker with usual shop procedure.” The
average pay per inmate employed in the industries was $61.75 for the
fiscal year— approximately 22 cents a working day. In “ State shops”
prisoners were paid from 5 to 15 cents per day for work on clothing,
rock crushing, shoe repair, etc. Wallkill, Great Meadow, and Clinton
Prisons had wage scales ranging from 2 to 30 cents per day, and the
woman prisoners in the clothing shop at Westfield State Prison Farm
received an average of 1 cent an hour.
North Dakota .— Binder twine workers received 20 cents per day plus
overtime of 5 cents per hour. All other productive workers were paid
18 cents per day.
Ohio.— At the Reformatory for Women the basic daily wage was 6
cents, although wage rates of 13 to 33 cents were paid to some women
holding jobs involving skill or responsibility. The State Penitentiary
and the State Farm made no distinction, in compensation, between
prisoners productively employed and those assigned to maintenance
duties. All were paid on the following bases: single men, no depend­
ents, one-half cent per hour; single men, no dependents, but honor or
skilled, 1 cent per hour; single men, no dependents, but skilled and
clerical, 2 cents per hour; married men, with dependents, 5 cents per
hour. These latter were credited with only one-half cent, and the
other 4K cents was sent to the dependents. At the Men’s Reforma­
tory, single men and .married men without dependent children received
1 cent an hour, but were held to maximum earnings of $25 during
incarceration. Inmates having 1, 2, or 3 or more dependent children
were paid 3, 4, or 5 cents per hour, respectively.
Oklahoma.— In the pants factory at the State Penitentiary, machine
operators, pickers, oilers, and porters received $2 per month, while the
more skilled occupations such as instructors, mechanics, cutters,
pattern markers, etc., were paid from $3 to $5 for the same period.
Pay for jobs in the twine plant ranged from $1 to $2.50 per month, de-

pending upon the skill required. All workers in the cannery received
$1.50 per month plus overtime of 5 cents for each hour over 8 in any
day. All other productively employed inmates were allowed from
$1 to $2 each month. At the Oklahoma Reformatory, each of the 3
departments of the shoe factory divided among the workers $32 for
each 1,000 pairs of shoes produced. The boot shop divided 25 cents
for each pair. In the tannery and saddle shop, unskilled inmates
received $1 and skilled inmates, $1.25 or $1.50 per month.
Oregon.— Compensation ranged from 25 to 60 cents per day for
workers in the flax industry. No other inmates were paid.
Pennsylvania .— All institutions paid industrial workers on the same
basis. The daily wage rate varied from a minimum of 10 cents per
day for apprentices to $1 per day for a few highly skilled workers.
Some shops paid piece-work rates to insure quality and quantity
production, but earnings at these rates fell within the daily wage
scale. A bonus system was used to reward prisoners turning out
exceptionally high quality products.
South Carolina.— In the furniture factory there was no set task, but
most men were paid on a piece-work basis. Typical are “ arm men,”
who received 3 cents per arm; “ back men,” 3 cents per back; and
“ trimmers,” 2 cents per chair. Earnings on these jobs averaged
about $4.00 per month. Boxers, craters, and other laborers received
a flat rate of $3 per month. In the garment factory, prisoners worked
under a set-task system. Payments of 75 cents for the first task and
25 cents for each additional task resulted in average earnings of $3.50
to $4 per month for each prisoner. Prisoners in the auto-tag shop
earned from 15 to 30 cents per day, depending upon their skills. Farm
workers were not paid.
South Dakota .— Productively employed prisoners earned from 15 to
25 cents per day.
Tennessee .— At the State Penitentiary, men working on roads re­
ceived 5 cents per day and those in “ industries,” 7% cents per day. At
Brushy Mountain, coal miners worked on a task basis and were paid
25 cents per ton over the task. Other workers earned $1 per month.
All inmates at Fort Pillow received $1 per month.
Texas .— No cash payments were made but inmates employed at
numerous jobs were allowed “ industrial good time” ranging from 10
to 30 days for each month’s work.
Utah.— Inmate foremen and prisoners holding the more responsible
jobs were given three 25-cent books of stamps every 2 weeks. All
other productive workers received two such books. These stamps
could be used as postage or as a medium of exchange at the com­
missary.
Vermont .— Prisoners employed in the printing and auto-tag shops
were paid 15 cents each working day.

Virginia .— All employed prisoners received a basic wage of 10 cents
a day. In addition, certain skilled workers were granted a bonus of
5 to 25 cents per day.
Wisconsin .— Employed prisoners at the State Prison for Women
received 3 cents a day for the first year of sentence and 1 cent a day
thereafter. At the State Reformatory, men assigned to work outside
the wall were granted 5 days per month “ industrial good time.”
The State Prison paid workers after 1 month’s service in the twine
plant from 9 to 18 cents per day, depending upon the skill required for
the job. Laundry workers received 20 cents per day after 3 months’
service. Prisoners working outside the wall (farmers, etc.) earned
“ industrial good time” of 5 days per month. All prisoners received
in addition to any other earnings, the basic rate of 3 cents a day for
the first year and 1 cent a day thereafter.
FEDERAL PRISONS

Federal Prison Industries, Inc., a Government corporation, oper­
ated shops in 12 of the Federal Prisons. All prisoners employed in
these shops, with the exception of aliens without dependents in this
country, received compensation. In some cases this was based upon
an hourly rate ranging from 3K to 10 cents, and in others upon a group
piece-work plan. During the fiscal year 1940, $278,091 in wages
was shared by an average of 2,938 paid workers, resulting in an annual
average of $94.65 per man. A prisoner was allowed to use 25 percent
of his earnings. The balance was held in an account until the
prisoner’s release or was sent to his dependents, if any.
In eight of the prisons productively employed inmates were allowed
2 days per month “industrial good time” for the first year of employ­
ment and 4 days per month thereafter. At the discretion of the
warden, an extra day of “good time” could be allowed after 1 year’s
service, for “ exceptionally meritorious service” and after 4 year’s
employment, to any worker with a good conduct record. Workers in
the Federal prison camps received no monetary compensation but
were allowed “industrial good time” of 3 days per month for the first
year and 5 days per month thereafter. Prisoners returned from parole
or conditional releases are not eligible for “good time.”
K in d , Q uantity , and Value o f Production
STATE PRISONS

Examination of table 14 shows that 53,691,752 auto-license tags were
produced. Their valuation of $3,043,950 was higher than that of
any other article manufactured in 1940. Closely approaching this was
almost 40,000,000 pounds of binder twine valued at $3,039,508. Com-

modities in the l-to-2 million dollar class were whole milk, cotton
yard goods, shoes, canned fruit and vegetables, and cotton.
In terms of dollar value, auto-license tags also constituted the most
important single commodity produced under the State-use system.
Miscellaneous farm products (principally truck crops), whole milk,
canned fruit and vegetables, shoes, cotton yard goods, and dressed
pork7 each were produced in quantities valued at more than $1,000,000
and with auto tags accounted for almost two-fifths of the value of all
commodities produced under the State-use system. The following
classes of goods, produced for State-use in the amount of $500,000
or more, are worthy of note: Work pants, work shirts, underwear
(knit and other), field corn, potatoes, highway markers (metal and
wood), miscellaneous printing and binding, soap, and wool yard goods.

Outstanding among the State-account sales were almost 40,000,000
pounds of binder twine valued at over $3,000,000, 66,237 bales of raw
cotton valued at over $1,000,000, cotton yard-goods amounting to
$805,447, and agricultural implements and parts worth $746,990.
These four major items accounted for 64 percent of all State-account
sales. If the values of shoes, rope, cottonseed, wood chairs, lime­
stone, sugar, jute bags, flax tow and fiber, and the item labor only
(clothing), each in excess of $100,000 were added to these others,
the total would represent 88 percent of all such sales. No other, of a
total of 128 classes of goods sold, equaled 1 percent.
Under the public works and ways system, major repairs to roads
employed more men and exceeded in dollar value all other types of
construction.

Only in the prisons of two States, Florida and South Carolina, was
the piece-price system in use. Sales of four furniture items and three
clothing items totaled 59 percent and 41 percent, respectively, of all
production under this system.
FEDERAL PRISONS

The Federal institutions employ prisoners and produce goods and
services only under the State-use and public works and ways systems.
The only items sold on the open market are certain excess farm
products. The volume of such sales in 1940 was $404, a negligible
amount. The ratio of State-use to public works and ways production
was 76 to 24. The combined market values of 328,697 pairs of shoes
and 4,846,306 yards of duck and canvas, each in excess of $1,000,000,
represented 35 percent of all goods produced. Brushes valued at
$757,194 comprised an additional 13 percent. Thus, almost half (48
percent) of the market value of all goods produced is accounted for in
the production of these three classes of commodities. Two classes

products.”

(brooms and tents) had a production value in excess of $200,000 and
seven others (suits, work shirts, milk, steel transfer cases, steel shelving,
wood chairs, and mattresses) ranged from $113,000 to $154,000.
Under the public works and ways system, approximately 80 percent
of the prisoners and 78 percent of the value of completed works were
concentrated in the construction of new buildings. Miscellaneous
construction included such items as water, sewer and steam lines, and
major repairs to sea walls.
