RINGGOLD, Ga. — The Catoosa County Commission renewed its contract to receive prison labor for some local projects. The commissioners unanimously voted Tuesday night to approve the county's work detail agreement with the Georgia Department of Corrections. Under the contract, the county receives work from Walker State Prison inmates, paying the Department of Corrections $39,500 for the year. The county can use up to 10 inmates, with the inmates working 40 hours a week. If used to the maximum, the county would receive about 2,080 hours' worth of work — at a rate of about $1.91 an hour, per inmate. County Manager Jim Walker said he was not sure exactly how many inmates and how many hours' worth of work the local government has received through the agreement in past years. Usually, he said, the county brings in the inmates to work on road crews or building maintenance. Read More. |
