Orrin Hatch: “The only hope we have to rehabilitate these prisoners is to get them to work. The only work they do is Federal Prison…”

“The only hope we have to rehabilitate these prisoners is to get them to work. The only work they do is Federal Prison Industries work. Basically, they can only sell their products to a Federal procurement program, and they have to be products of quality and products of price and products of distribution that work. So if we take this away from them, we take away one of the most important aspects of rehabilitation of criminals. So I hope people will vote for the Gramm amendment and vote down the Levin amendment.”
