Summary
This bill amends the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to extend coverage to incarcerated workers employed by public agencies or private contractors operating correctional facilities. The bill defines incarcerated workers to include those in prison work programs, work release programs, UNICOR, state prison industries, and facility maintenance work. It specifies that costs of board, lodging, and court-imposed fees cannot be deducted from wages paid to incarcerated workers, ensuring they receive minimum wage and overtime protections.
