Show N B6-T-h Thursday, Nov. 7, 1991 Tlmes-Independe- Troll Book Fair to be held at HMK School Utah Prison Industries show multiple benefits Utah prison inmates produced goods and services which sold for a record $7.2 million in fiscal year 1990. Most (80) of this output was sold to sate agencies substantially below market prices, representing significant savings to Utah taxpayers, it is noted by Utah Foundation, the private tax research organization. Utah Correctional Industries (UCI) in 1990 showed a net profit for the fiitli consecutive year. While the balance sheet figure was relatively modest, it was in addition to the savings realized by state agencies which purchased the lower-price- d UCI products, Foundation analysts point out. UCI officials estimate that their data entry operation alone provides savings to the state of more than $300,000 a year. flie asbestos abatement program has saved the state more than $1 million in its first three years of operation. Operation of prison industries has important additional value that is not directly measured in dollars and cents, the Foundation notes. Providing work for prison inmates relieves tensions and frustrations which too frequently lead to violence among inmates and sometimes to costly riots. Work done in prison may also provide inmates with skills and work habits to enable them to find and hold jobs after their release from prison. UCI programs offer work experiences that closely parallel those in private industry. Thirty-eigUtah inmates who worked on the asbestos program have found jobs in that field after their release, and five of them have risen to supervisory positions. Prison industries first appeared on the American scene early in the 19th century, when confinement replaced corporal punishment as the basic ht corrective treatment of prisoners. Prisoners were exploited by employers who leased convict labor from prison officials or provided raw materials to be manufactured in r Opposition to these programs grew and reached their peak in the Depression of the 1930's, when jobs became scarce and many businesses were failing. Restrictive laws were enacted on both federal and state levels to keep prison industries from competing with private industry and employment. Prisons industries, in Utah as elsewhere, were restricted to such operations as automobile license plate manufacture, with the entire output going to the state. A shift in thinking on the subject of prison industry developed in the 1970's, the Foundation reports. Penologists and government officials the entire prison indussee if prison industry to try concept could: 1) provide work experience truly comparable with those in private industry; and, 2) be made profitable to help pay the soaring costs of corrections programs. In time, legislative action on both federal and state levels relaxed some of the restrictions against prison industry. Utah was one of the first to qualify for the new, strictly controlled, Mr. community.
