Bill > AB2642

This bill makes technical, nonsubstantive changes to existing law that requires every able-bodied prisoner in a state prison to work as many hours of faithful labor each day as prescribed by the Secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, which is the state agency responsible for managing prisons and inmates. The changes clarify the wording regarding the requirement for prisoners to work and how compensation for prisoners engaged in certain work programs is handled, ensuring that the language is consistent and up-to-date without altering the fundamental obligation for inmates to labor.
