Every prisoner confined in Texas is forced to work without pay. ... Only those very few with documented serious medical or mental health conditions which impair work performance, and those held in the TDCJ’s torturous segregation units, are not made to work.

Those who refuse to work are punished, thrown in segregated confinement, and their imprisonment is typically extended. (en) |
