How about cracking rocks or shoveling snow. Nobody said a lifer's

Shoveling Snow! What an outstanding idea!

The only problem is they would only be able to shovel snow inside the
prison. Even in places where they will let inmates work outside the
wire, the number of places they can work are very limited for security
reasons and because they are not allowed to compete with "labor".

I see lots of prisoners working road details.

I have never seen that up here that I am aware of...

The unions are even stronger up there. They will not tolerate any
competition.

Used to have prisoners working here, but unions shot that down. When I
traveled in the South was when I have seen them in the last 50 years.
