Inmates typically engage in tasks such as manufacturing goods, providing services, or working in maintenance roles within prisons.

House yes-vote rate on labor bills
Share of each member's yea and nay votes that were yea, on recent House roll calls on bills classified to this sector. Senators are not covered.
Most members fall within a few points of the House average, so small gaps are not meaningful. A sector's bills include measures that both help and limit the industry, so a higher or lower rate does not show support for or opposition to it. Members with fewer than 10 yea or nay votes on these bills are left out.
