[edit] Prison Labor
There is a similar article about prison labor. I don't know enough about the subject to know if this should be merged or expanded. Aaronwinborn 03:07, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Adventure Therapy
I removed the link to Adventure Therapy. Could find no correlation between the two referenced in either article. -- Aaronwinborn 20:53, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Extreme US bias in this article
In the UK, a prison farm is a very different concept. Farms exist only on prisons of the lowest security category, and it is one of several work details for which inmates might opt, with a scope of choice. While the work might sometimes be hard, in is not the sort of penal forced labour of the US system: this is not legally enforcible in the UK. If information is specific to one country, that should be specified: it is arrogant to make a statement like prisoners may make license plates under contract to the state Department of Motor Vehicles and assume that the reader will assume that this information pertains to the USA.
