Would you introduce a work program in prison as it seems work is a better rehab method than counciling?

All prisons have work programs in place already and have for years

Not really because I don’t work in a prison. If I were to do something like that I would probably have to leave it with the guard at the front gate and I’m guessing it would get thrown in the trash. Why would a prison pay any attention to anything I introduced as far as how they should run it?
I wouldn’t introduce a work program at McDonalds on how they should cook their hamburgers or introduce a program to a doctor telling him how to take out someone’s tonsils.
I guess I could but what good would it do?

Most prisons have a work program. There are plenty of jobs within a prison that need to be done, and are better performed by inmates than by outside contractors. Two reasons for this are the cost (inmates work for very little pay) and security. (Less outside employees have to come into the prison to work) Some examples of jobs are garbage collection, janitorial jobs, mess hall workers (cooking, serving, and cleaning), lawns and grounds, and maintenance. Although all these jobs are overseen by a civilian or officer, far more work can get done, as a single civilian or officer can supervise a crew of inmates.
Some inmates even become eligible for “Work Release” where they have jobs outside of the prison in the community. The prison where I work has such a program. Several of our inmates work in the local McDonald’s or Dunkin Donuts. Others work in local grocery stores. I was surprised to find all the jobs where work release inmates are employed.
