A prison in Romania promotes the labor force of inmates at a rate of 27 lei per hour, providing transport, food, and security.

In the context in which many companies in Romania choose to bring cheap labor from countries like Nepal and Sri Lanka, a prison in Romania is promoting the labor offer with inmates. At a rate of approximately 27 lei per hour, the prison provides transportation, food, and security for incarcerated individuals who wish to work. Contracts can be concluded both for the long term and for specific jobs, and the prison generated revenues of 5.5 million lei from these activities in the first 11 months of the year.

Additionally, the prison also engages in other activities, such as agricultural work and carpentry, and is involved in activities to prevent juvenile delinquency. In contrast, a study shows that half of the foreign workers in Romania come from Nepal and Sri Lanka, highlighting a trend to bring labor from abroad instead of collaborating with inmates. The prison emphasizes that as long as the rights of the inmates are respected, collaboration can benefit all parties involved.
