Minnesota correctional industries program modification

This bill modifies Minnesota's correctional industries program to increase transparency and fairness when state prisons contract with private businesses. It requires the Minnesota Correctional Industries Corporation (MINNCOR) to clearly separate and report costs related to inmate labor versus private business operations, while also disclosing how confinement fees impact its profitability. Key provisions mandate that MINNCOR use prevailing wage rates for inmate work, prohibit using inmate labor to subsidize private companies, and ensure contracts do not displace existing local workers or exceed a 70% inmate labor threshold. Additionally, the program must charge fair market rates for the use of prison space and storage, and all wage data must be posted publicly on MINNCOR's website.
