Ideally, they are working towards a possible early release.  If they can be
trusted enough to behave while out working and not cause trouble, that
should earn points towards early parole.

In some cases, I know they are also learning skills that they can use to
gain employment when the get out.  Unfortunately, some will use those skills
to grift the unsuspecting, as some of the local "tree trimmer" "businesses" do
here.

For-profits, lobbyist, and politicians may be corrupting this system to
where they are not earning points with good behavior while being out on a
labor or work release assignment.
