Business as usual, in prison - Very Interesting

[Hyde]

Actually you guyz are forgetting something
The majority in Pakistan/India are imprisoned with "qaid ba mushaqqat" meaning they have to work within the Jail as part of their prison/punishment. So instead of normal old way of cracking/breaking bricks they have innovated this way.... so instead of doing only a hardwork with minimum results/benefits, they can make these food items and clothes and furniture to generate more income.

Of course they are not paid as part of their job but they do get little income once they are set free. If prisoners refuse to work, they are forcefully compelled to work
