For a possible session at next year's Midwest Museums Conference annual
meeting, I would like to hear from anyone with experience using any kind
of prison labor (community service, work release, adults, juveniles,
etc.) in museum operations.  I am curious about how extensive the
practice currently is, what applications it is notably effective or
ineffective at, and whether--given current trends in both museum funding
and in the costs of correctional systems--prison labor may become more
common in the years ahead.  Please reply either directly or through the
list.
