Prisoners do not get the minimum wage...I don't know were that notion came from!
I'm certainly not going to start sticking up for convicted criminals but lets get the basic facts.
Only around 15% of the prison population actually do industrial/manufactoring work...maybe another 10% do prison work such as cleaning and cooking... the average wage paid is around £9 per week.
