Offenders who work at the penitentiary or in its prison industries shall receive compensation
in an amount to be determined by the warden and approved by the director of the department of

offender has worked in excess of ten hours per day, the offender shall receive such additional
compensation as the warden may allow. All offenders working in prison industries may receive
pay based upon actual production of salable items as determined by the warden, to be paid out
of funds the legislative assembly appropriates.
