The Hidden History of ALEC and Prison Labor | The Nation

The Hidden History of ALEC and Prison Labor

Years after ALEC’s Truth In Sentencing bills became the law of the land, its Prison Industries Act has quietly expanded prison labor across the country.

August 1, 2011

This article is part of a Nation series exposing the American Legislative Exchange Council, in collaboration with the Center For Media and Democracy. John Nichols introduces the series.

The breaded chicken patty your child bites into at school may have been made by a worker earning twenty cents an hour, not in a faraway country, but by a member of an invisible American workforce: prisoners. At the Union Correctional Facility, a maximum security prison in Florida, inmates from a nearby lower-security prison manufacture tons of processed beef, chicken and pork for Prison Rehabilitative Industries and Diversified Enterprises (PRIDE), a privately held non-profit corporation that operates the state’s forty-one work programs. In addition to processed food, PRIDE’s website reveals an array of products for sale through contracts with private companies, from eyeglasses to office furniture, to be shipped from a distribution center in Florida to businesses across the US. PRIDE boasts that its work programs are “designed to provide vocational training, to improve prison security, to reduce the cost of state government, and to promote the rehabilitation of the state inmates.”

Although a wide variety of goods have long been produced by state and federal prisoners for the US government—license plates are the classic example, with more recent contracts including everything from guided missile parts to the solar panels powering government buildings—prison labor for the private sector was legally barred for years, to avoid unfair competition with private companies. But this has changed thanks to the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), its Prison Industries Act, and a little-known federal program known as PIE (the Prison Industries Enhancement Certification Program). While much has been written about prison labor in the past several years, these forces, which have driven its expansion, remain largely unknown.

Somewhat more familiar is ALEC’s instrumental role in the explosion of the US prison population in the past few decades. ALEC helped pioneer some of the toughest sentencing laws on the books today, like mandatory minimums for non-violent drug offenders, “three strikes” laws, and “truth in sentencing” laws. In 1995 alone, ALEC’s Truth in Sentencing Act was signed into law in twenty-five states. (Then State Rep. Scott Walker was an ALEC member when he sponsored Wisconsin’s truth-in-sentencing laws and, according to PR Watch, used its statistics to make the case for the law.) More recently, ALEC has proposed innovative “solutions” to the overcrowding it helped create, such as privatizing the parole process through “the proven success of the private bail bond industry,” as it recommended in 2007. (The American Bail Coalition is an executive member of ALEC’s Public Safety and Elections Task Force.) ALEC has also worked to pass state laws to create private for-profit prisons, a boon to two of its major corporate sponsors: Corrections Corporation of America and Geo Group (formerly Wackenhut Corrections), the largest private prison firms in the country. An In These Times investigation last summer revealed that ALEC arranged secret meetings between Arizona’s state legislators and CCA to draft what became SB 1070, Arizona’s notorious immigration law, to keep CCA prisons flush with immigrant detainees. ALEC has proven expertly capable of devising endless ways to help private corporations benefit from the country’s massive prison population.

That mass incarceration would create a huge captive workforce was anticipated long before the US prison population reached its peak—and at a time when the concept of “rehabilitation” was still considered part of the mission of prisons. First created by Congress in 1979, the PIE program was designed “to encourage states and units of local government to establish employment opportunities for prisoners that approximate private sector work opportunities,” according to PRIDE’s website. The benefits to big corporations were clear—a “readily available workforce” for the private sector and “a cost-effective way to occupy a portion of the ever-growing offender/inmate population” for prison officials—yet from its founding until the mid-1990s, few states participated in the program.

This started to change in 1993, when Texas State Representative and ALEC member Ray Allen crafted the Texas Prison Industries Act, which aimed to expand the PIE program. After it passed in Texas, Allen advocated that it be duplicated across the country. In 1995, ALEC’s Prison Industries Act was born.

This Prison Industries Act as printed in ALEC’s 1995 state legislation sourcebook, “provides for the employment of inmate labor in state correctional institutions and in the private manufacturing of certain products under specific conditions.” These conditions, defined by the PIE program, are supposed to include requirements that “inmates must be paid at the prevailing wage rate” and that the “any room and board deductions…are reasonable and are used to defray the costs of inmate incarceration.” (Some states charge prisoners for room and board, ostensibly to offset the cost of prisons for taxpayers. In Florida, for example, prisoners are paid minimum wage for PIE-certified labor, but 40 percent is taken out of their accounts for this purpose.)

The Prison Industries Act sought to change this, inventing the “private sector prison industry expansion account,” to absorb such deductions, and stipulating that the money should be used to, among other things: “construct work facilities, recruit corporations to participate as private sector industries programs, and pay costs of the authority and department in implementing [these programs].” Thus, money that was taken from inmate wages to offset the costs of incarceration would increasingly go to expanding prison industries. In 2000, Florida passed a law that mirrored the Prison Industries Act and created the Prison Industries Trust Fund, its own version of the private sector prison industry expansion account, deliberately designed to help expand prison labor for private industries.

The Prison Industries Act was also written to exploit a critical PIE loophole that seemed to suggest that its rules did not apply to prisoner-made goods that were not shipped across state lines. It allowed a third-party company to set up a local address in a state that makes prison goods, buy goods from a prison factory, sell those products locally or surreptitiously ship them across state borders. It helped that by 1995 oversight of the PIE program had been effectively squashed, transferred from the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Assistance to the National Correctional Industries Association (NCIA), a private trade organization that happened to be represented by Allen’s lobbying firm, Service House, Inc. In 2003, Allen became the Texas House Chairman of the Corrections Committee and began peddling the Prison Industries Act and other legislation beneficial to CCA and Geo Group, like the Private Correctional Facilities Act. Soon thereafter he became Chairman of ALEC’s Criminal Justice (now Public Safety and Elections) Task Force. He resigned from the state legislature in 2006 while under investigation for his unethical lobbying practices. He was hired soon after as a lobbyist for Geo Group.

Today’s chair of ALEC’s Public Safety and Elections Task force is state Representative Jerry Madden of Texas, where the Prison Industries Act originated eighteen years ago. According to a 2010 report from NCIA, as of last summer there were “thirty jurisdictions with active [PIE] operations.” These included such states as Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, and twelve more. Four more states are now looking to get involved as well; Kentucky, Michigan and Pennsylvania have introduced legislation and New Hampshire is in the process of applying for PIE certification. Today these state’s legislation are based upon an updated version of the Prison Industries Act, which ALEC amended in 2004.

Prison labor has already started to undercut the business of corporations that don’t use it. In Florida, PRIDE has become one of the largest printing corporations in the state, its cheap labor having a significant impact upon smaller local printers. This scenario is playing out in states across the country. In addition to Florida’s forty-one prison industries, California alone has sixty. Another 100 or so are scattered throughout other states. What’s more, several states are looking to replace public sector workers with prison labor. In Wisconsin Governor Walker’s recent assault on collective bargaining opened the door to the use of prisoners in public sector jobs in Racine, where inmates are now doing landscaping, painting, and other maintenance work. According to the Capitol Times, “inmates are not paid for their work, but receive time off their sentences.” The same is occurring in Virginia, Ohio, New Jersey, Florida and Georgia, all states with GOP Assembly majorities and Republican governors. Much of ALEC’s proposed labor legislation, implemented state by state is allowing replacement of public workers with prisoners.

“It’s bad enough that our companies have to compete with exploited and forced labor in China,” says Scott Paul Executive Director of the Alliance for American Manufacturing, a coalition of business and unions. “They shouldn’t have to compete against prison labor here at home. The goal should be for other nations to aspire to the quality of life that Americans enjoy, not to discard our efforts through a downward competitive spiral.”

Alex Friedmann, associate editor of Prison Legal News, says prison labor is part of a “confluence of similar interests” among politicians and corporations, long referred to as the “prison industrial complex.” As decades of model legislation reveals, ALEC has been at the center of this confluence. “This has been ongoing for decades, with prison privatization contributing to the escalation of incarceration rates in the US,” Friedmann says. Just as mass incarceration has burdened American taxpayers in major prison states, so is the use of inmate labor contributing to lost jobs, unemployment and decreased wages among workers—while corporate profits soar.

NECTA CSEE Results: Understanding the Significance and Process

The National Examinations Council of Tanzania (NECTA) plays a crucial role in the country's education system, particularly through the Certificate of Secondary Education Examination (CSEE). Every year, thousands of students across Tanzania sit for these exams, eagerly awaiting their results, as they determine their future academic and career paths. NECTA CSEE Results are not just an indication of individual student performance but also serve as a barometer for the nation's educational health.

What is NECTA CSEE?

The CSEE is a secondary school examination administered by NECTA at the end of Form Four. This exam is designed to evaluate students' understanding of subjects they have studied over four years. Success in the CSEE is essential for students who wish to advance to higher education or pursue vocational training. It is a gateway to advanced secondary education, and for many, it can be the difference between continuing their academic journey or entering the workforce.

The Process of Exam and Results

NECTA ensures that the examination process is rigorous, fair, and transparent. The exams are conducted across the country, and students are tested in core subjects like Mathematics, English, History, Geography, and Sciences. The marking process is thorough, and results are compiled based on both written tests and practicals (where applicable).

Once the exams are over, students anxiously await the release of their results, which NECTA announces through official channels such as their website and SMS. The anticipation surrounding the CSEE results is palpable; families, teachers, and entire communities often share in this moment, as it represents the culmination of years of hard work and dedication.

The Importance of CSEE Results

For students, the CSEE results are pivotal. High performers can secure spots in advanced secondary schools or prestigious colleges, while others may explore vocational opportunities. The results also provide insight into national trends in education, helping policymakers and educators understand areas that require improvement.

As Nelson Mandela once said, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." This rings especially true in Tanzania, where education is seen as the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and opening doors to new opportunities. The CSEE results are a testament to the country's commitment to education and development.

Challenges and Improvements in NECTA’s CSEE System

Over the years, NECTA has faced several challenges, such as the occasional leak of exam papers and delays in result announcements. However, NECTA has worked hard to address these issues by enhancing security measures and digitizing many of its processes. The introduction of online result checking and SMS notification has made it easier for students to access their results, even in remote areas.

Additionally, the Tanzanian government, in collaboration with NECTA, continues to invest in improving the education system by expanding access to schools, improving teacher training, and revising the curriculum to meet the demands of a modern world.

The Emotional Impact of Results

For students, the NECTA FTNA Results are often a highly emotional experience. Success can lead to feelings of triumph, while lower-than-expected results may bring disappointment. It’s important to remember, however, that academic results are just one part of a person’s journey. As Albert Einstein wisely noted, “The only source of knowledge is experience.” Students who may not have achieved the desired results still have plenty of opportunities to learn and grow, whether through further education, vocational training, or practical work experience.

NATIONAL PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS FOR TEACHERS (NPST)

Public statement of what constitutes teacher quality

The NPST is a public statement of what constitutes teaching quality and what is required to improve the educational outcomes of students in India. These standards are a set of guiding statements that define the expectation of the role of a teacher at different levels of expertise at different stages of a career. The standards also defines effective teaching and the competencies required to practice as a teacher in 21st century schools at each stage of teaching career.

The NPST will also inform the design of pre-service teacher education programmes. This could be then adopted by States and determine all aspects of teacher career management, including tenure, professional development efforts, salary increases, promotions, and other recognitions. Promotions and salary increases will not occur based on the length of tenure or seniority, but only on the basis of such appraisal. The professional standards will be reviewed and revised in 2030, and thereafter every ten years, on the basis of rigorous empirical analysis of the efficacy of the system.

Further, these standards provide a common understanding of what is valued in the profession and expectations from teachers across the country.

This understanding will inform the following:

▪️Defining the nature of teacher’s work

▪️Creating working and service conditions

▪️Reinventing teacher education programmes

▪️Enabling certification and registration of teachers

▪️Promoting life-long learning and career development

▪️Establishing uniformity of teacher qualification and enabling mobility

▪️Evaluating teacher quality

▪️Supporting teacher motivation

▪️Teacher accountability/duties

Thus, a common set of standards will ensure that there is coherence across policies in the varied matters pertaining to teachers and teaching as a profession.

1.NPST in NEP, 2020

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 places the teacher at the center of the fundamental reforms proposed in the education system. The Policy indicates that teachers truly shape the future of our children - and, therefore, all students at all levels of school education must be taught by passionate, motivated, highly qualified, professionally trained, and well-equipped teachers.

To enable this, teachers must be re-established as the most respected and essential members of our society. Everything must be done to empower teachers and help them to do their job as effectively as possible. The very best and brightest must enter the teaching profession at all levels, by ensuring livelihood, respect, dignity, and autonomy, while also instilling in the system basic methods of quality control and accountability.

This will be made possible through the National Professional Standards for Teachers (NPST), an essential policy action as stated in Para 5.20 of the NEP 2020, as indicated below.

2.Para 5.20. NEP, 2020

“A common guiding set of National Professional Standards for Teachers (NPST) will be developed by 2022, by the National Council for Teacher Education in its restructured new form as a Professional Standard Setting Body (PSSB) under the General Education Council (GEC), in consultation with NCERT, SCERTs, teachers from across levels and regions, expert organizations in teacher preparation and development, expert bodies in vocational education, and higher education institutions. The standards would cover expectations of the role of the teacher at different levels of expertise/stage, and the competencies required for that stage. It will also comprise standards for performance appraisal, for each stage, that would be carried out on a periodic basis. The NPST will also inform the design of pre-service teacher education programmes. This could be then adopted by States and determine all aspects of teacher career management, including tenure, professional development efforts, salary increases, promotions, and other recognitions. Promotions and salary increases will not occur based on the length of tenure or seniority, but only on the basis of such appraisal. The professional standards will be reviewed and revised in 2030, and thereafter every ten years, on the basis of rigorous empirical analysis of the efficacy of the system”

Study MBBS in Abroad

Study MBBS Abroad

Healthcare has always been regarded by Indian society as the highest-caliber vocation. The youth of India have long been drawn to pursue a profession in medicine and health sciences, often known as MBBS, because doctors receive the highest distinction. But today, more students than ever before are enrolling in MBBS programmes abroad. This number is larger than it was a few years ago. Why this taking place is is the question. One of the factors could be the low cost of MBBS abroad.

Why Study MBBS Abroad?

The number of Indian youth who study medicine and health sciences, also known as MBBS, has increased throughout time. The number of students applying to study MBBS overseas today is significantly more than it was a few years ago. Why so? A select group of Indian students have been encouraged to pursue their MBBS abroad due to the scarcity of government seats and the excessive tuition charges charged by private medical colleges.

Since many other nations have recognised medical colleges that provide certified and difficult-to-resist MBBS programmes, choosing to study MBBS abroad for Indian students at a low cost is nothing but a wise move.

According to the Medical Council of India (MCI), a total of 542 public and private colleges will offer a combined 79,855 places to students who pass the now required National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET). Only a small portion of the overall number of applicants who register for NEET each year are awarded seats by MCI. A record number of students—more than 15 lakh—registered for the NEET-UG in 2020. For those who don't make the cut, private medical colleges with their astronomical tuition costs become their only option.

Modern medical colleges with unrivalled amenities and top-notch instructors have made studying MBBS overseas quite popular among Indian students. Students who study MBBS abroad gain not only exposure to other cultures and the chance to practise medicine in another country, but also a comprehensive experience that they will remember for the rest of their lives.

MBBS Abroad Advantages

Studying MBBS overseas is a high-potential option for Indian students because other nations provide cutting-edge medical universities, unparalleled amenities, and faculty that is recognised around the world.

While studying for the MBBS abroad, students get the chance to experience life abroad and gain a wealth of knowledge that will last a lifetime.

For students looking for a top-notch medical education, foreign universities offer certain alluring advantages that are hard to refuse.

A degree that has been certified and is recognised worldwide.

Additionally, medical colleges abroad offer the entire experience for a lot less money.

MBBS Abroad VS MBBS India

There are more parallels between studying medicine abroad and in India than differences. The National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) is now required for admission to all medical schools in India and overseas. MBBS education abroad can last up to 6 years, including a year of clinical rotations, in contrast to the 5.5 years for MBBS in India, which also includes a year of clinical internship (internship). Read about the benefits and drawbacks of MBBS abroad.

NCERT Rules Provide 10 ‘Bagless Days’ For Students Of Classes 6–8

Union Ministry of Education unveiled its guidelines on Monday for introducing bag-free days for grades 6 through 8.

The Union Ministry of Education unveiled its guidelines on Monday for introducing bag-free days for grades 6 through 8, as well as for enhancing the joy, experience, and stress-free nature of classroom instruction.

The National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT) institution, PSS Central Institute of Vocational Education, produced the recommendations, which were unveiled on the fourth anniversary of the new National Education Policy (NEP), 2020.

“The goal of the ten bag-free days is to integrate them into the teaching and learning process, not just as an extra component of the current education curriculum for grades 6 through 8.”According to the instructions, it would not only lessen the barriers between bookish knowledge and the application of knowledge but also expose kids to the skill requirements in the workplace, assisting them in choosing their future professional path.

All children would take part in a 10-day bag-free period sometime between classes 6 and 8, according to the ministry, when they would intern with local trade professionals like potters, gardeners, and carpenters.

An annual calendar can have events for Ten Bagless Days scheduled for any number of times. However, keeping two or three slots is advised. All subject instructors may be involved in creating an annual work plan. The recommendations said that indoor and outdoor activities might be combined in one day if needed.

Among the suggested activities in the NCERT recommendations include visiting and surveying vegetable markets; volunteering; surveying and reporting on pet care; drawing, building, and flying kites; planning a book fair; lounging beneath a banyan tree; and seeing a biogas factory and solar energy park.

Education Ministry notifies guidelines for bagless days for classes 6-8

New Delhi, July 29: The Union education ministry on Monday notified guidelines for implementation of bagless days for classes 6-8 and making learning in schools more joyful, experiential and stress-free. The guidelines, developed by PSS Central Institute of Vocational Education, a unit of the National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT), were released on the fourth anniversary of the new National Education Policy (NEP), 2020. The NEP, 2020, had recommended that all students in classes 6-8 participate in a 10-day bagless period. “The idea behind 10 bagless days is to make them an integral part of the teaching learning process rather than an add-on to the existing scheme of studies of education from classes 6-8. It will not only reduce the boundaries between the bookish knowledge and application of knowledge but also expose children to the skill requirements in the work areas, thus helping them to decide the future career path,” the guidelines stated.

Empowering Futures: The Role Of Skill Development Organizations In India

The development of skills among India’s youth is not only a necessity but also a critical opportunity given the country’s size and rapidly expanding economy. India’s Skill development organizations need to interrelate between the existing educational outputs and the progressive job requirements of the labor market.

The need for skill development

The ‘demographic’ factor that most favors India is the demographic advantage, specifically the large population of young people identified in the country. But this privilege can only be realized if the youth are well-equipped and prepared to drive demand in various markets. The formal education model is more oriented towards the acquisition of theoretical knowledge, which sometimes does not let students get the practical experience necessary in today’s world. This is where the operation of Skill development organization in India is vital, as they offer training that meets market needs.

Key Players in Skill Development

National Skill Development Corporation: NSDC is an association of government and private organizations that was started in 2008, particularly to promote skill development through development of huge no of quality vocational training centers. It funds enterprises, companies, and organizational players in the sphere of commercial circulation of skills.

Sector Skill Councils (SSCs): These councils are developed under the NSDC and coordinate the identification of the needed skills in the corresponding industries and the corresponding training programs.

Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY): Also, the government of India initiated PMKVY as a pilot project in 2015 to skill the youth through competencies in training and certification. It tries to target various fields and aspires to impact an estimated millions of young people.

Challenges Faced

Quality of Training: The following have been identified as the major issues about training and development: The quality and their relevance continue to be a problem. It is a common feature that the training given to students has little relation to the demands that industries place on their employees.

Awareness and accessibility: Most of the target groups in the rural and hard-to-reach regions have no clue about the prospects of skill development programs. Accessibility and information dissemination are other elements that have to be met and promoted.

Infrastructure and Resources: The improvement of skills involves a sufficiently developed base and resources. Facilities and qualified trainers for education are yet to be established in many regions to deliver quality education.

Industry Collaboration: Much more should be done to enhance the connection between the training bodies and the employment markets. Cooperation ensures that curriculum developers get industry input and that the final product is a relevant curriculum that guarantees employment for trainees.

The Way Forward

Strengthening Public-Private Partnerships: Government relations with ministries, firms, and global organizations can ensure the implementation of all-encompassing and efficient skill development plans.Fostering Innovation in Training: The advent of technology aids in training by improving methodologies like online training platforms and virtual reality to improve the reach and quality of Technical training programs in India to be given.

Customized Training Programs: If professional training programs could be customized for each region’s economy, then there would likely be even more profound outcomes and employment openings.

Continuous Monitoring and Evaluation: The evaluation mechanisms can be used to identify gaps in the training programs that can be addressed to enhance their effectiveness.

Conclusion Thereby, skill development organizations in India play a large role in building the future of the demographic force of the nation. Thus, by dealing with the existing problems and utilizing the opportunities, these organizations might prepare India’s youth for an effective contribution to the country’s economic growth and make them beneficiaries of this process. Thus, consistent enhancement and sustainable improvements in skill development schemes will go a long way in defining the course

NECTA PSLE Results: Key to Tanzania’s Education Journey

The National Examination Council of Tanzania (NECTA) is responsible for administering and managing the educational assessment system in Tanzania. One of its most anticipated announcements each year is the release of the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) results. These results represent a crucial milestone in the academic journey of students and are a gateway to further education opportunities within the Tanzanian school system. Understanding the significance of NECTA PSLE results and their impact on students, parents, and the education sector in general is essential.

What is NECTA PSLE?

The Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) is an exam taken by Tanzanian students who are completing their final year in primary school, generally at the age of 13 or 14. Administered by NECTA, the PSLE marks the conclusion of seven years of primary education, and the results are used to determine which students qualify for secondary school education.

This examination covers a range of subjects including Kiswahili, English, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. The PSLE is designed to test students' knowledge, analytical skills, and preparedness for secondary school education. Passing the PSLE is essential for any student who wishes to progress into the next level of formal education.

The Role of NECTA in Managing the PSLE

NECTA is the sole body responsible for developing the examination papers, supervising the examination process, and announcing the PSLE results. Established in 1973, NECTA aims to ensure that educational assessments in Tanzania adhere to national standards and international best practices. The council takes measures to ensure the transparency and integrity of exams, which include both logistical supervision and exam paper security to prevent malpractices.

Each year, thousands of students sit for the PSLE, making it one of the largest academic events in the country. NECTA FTNA Results role in delivering the PSLE results efficiently is crucial for ensuring that students are placed in secondary schools in a timely manner.

Importance of NECTA PSLE Results

The PSLE results carry significant weight for students and their families. These results determine whether a student can transition from primary to secondary school. The importance of this transition cannot be overstated, as access to secondary education can have a lasting impact on a student's future opportunities.

For students who pass, it opens doors to secondary school education, where they can further build upon their academic foundation and prepare for higher education or vocational training. For those who do not pass, there may be other opportunities for re-sitting the exam or seeking vocational education options. However, passing on the first attempt is generally the most desirable outcome.

Additionally, the results have a broader significance for the Tanzanian education system as they serve as a benchmark for assessing the effectiveness of primary education across the country. The government and educational institutions often analyze the PSLE results to identify trends, challenges, and areas for improvement. This data can inform future educational policies and strategies to strengthen the quality of education nationwide.
