MANDATORY WORK REQUIREMENT FOR ALL PRISONERS.

SEC. 2905. MANDATORY WORK REQUIREMENT FOR ALL PRISONERS. (a) In General.— (1) It is the policy of the Federal Government that convicted inmates confined in Federal prisons, jails, and other detention facilities shall work. The type of work in which they will be involved shall be dictated by appropriate security considerations and by the health of the prisoner involved. (2) A Federal prisoner may be excused from the requirement to work only as necessitated by— (A) security considerations; (B) disciplinary action; (C) medical certification of disability such as would make it impracticable for prison officials to arrange useful work for the prisoner to perform; or (D) a need for the prisoner to work less than a full work schedule in order to participate in literacy training, drug rehabilitation, or similar programs in addition to the work program.
