Cash-strapped municipalities urged to turn to inmate labor
ARIZONA- They are inmates from the Arizona State Prison Complex-Douglas 10 miles away - supplemented by one city worker and a detention officer - and they say they savor the chance to get out of prison and do something productive every day.
