A 2024 ballot measure that would ban forced labor could alter those decisions.
California courts have consistently upheld pay below the minimum wage for prison inmates.
California 's prison system employs just under 40,000 workers across various industries, including firefighters, technicians, custodians, construction workers, food service workers and hospice care staff.
The measure does not contain language Glazer asked for back in 2022 , such as an exemption for food service workers and groundskeeping staff.
Activists who fought to revive the measure are hopeful that voters will pass it.
The state’s prison system hasn’t finished crunching the numbers on how much it believes the measure could cost.
