You often hear the phrase "hard labor" but there is no such thing as prison "hard labor" in the United States.. Administrations make a deal with inmates. Correction departments offer inmates institutions with lower security and time off sentences. Hi risk inmates work inside as cooks and janitors. Nobody is forced to work. As a matter of fact it's similar to so-called "community service" where people work off jail sentences with moderate to light labor.
