Quote:
Private firms could be encouraged to set up factories in prisons, under government proposals.
Prisons minister Crispin Blunt says he wants "tens of thousands" of prisoners to take "meaningful" work to help cut reoffending rates.
Part of their wages would go to their victims, their families and upkeep.
But it must be handled carefully to avoid it looking as if "legitimate" jobs were being stolen, he told a Tory conference fringe meeting.

Not sure about this..It might work but on the other hand if there is no work outside prison for released inmates I can only see them being back inside very quickly.
