Regulación del Trabajo de Prisioneros en Campamentos

Explicación Simple

Esta ley dice que los prisioneros pueden trabajar y ganar dinero, pero también se les descuentan gastos por su comida y cuidado. Es como si trabajaran para pagar su estancia en un campamento.

Es como cuando un adolescente hace su tarea para ganar su mesada, pero parte de esa mesada se usa para cubrir sus gastos, como la comida y el transporte a la escuela.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan está en un campamento de prisioneros en California. Cada día que trabaja, se le suma dinero a su cuenta, pero luego se le descuenta por su comida y otros gastos. Al final del mes, Juan se da cuenta de que su dinero ha disminuido porque tuvo que pagar por cosas necesarias.
