Work of prisoners for private employers. Further to its earlier comments on the subject, the Committee notes with satisfaction from the Government’s report that, since 31 July 2002, the Department of Corrections has had no inmates hired to private individuals or private sector organizations for work, as the Department has ceased all contractual arrangements where there had been direct private sector management of industries.
