The Attorney General may contract with State, territorial, or local authorities for up to three years to imprison, care for, support, and employ federal prisoners. Their work is limited to supporting the institution or government where they are held, and payment may reflect the quality of their care.
To provide suitable quarters and safekeeping, care, and food for people held under a federal law, the Attorney General may contract for no more than three years with proper authorities of a State, Territory, or local government for their imprisonment, support, care, and proper employment. Federal prisoners may work only making articles, producing supplies, building public works, or maintaining and caring for institutions of the State or local government where they are imprisoned. Payments for their care and custody must consider the quarters, sanitation, and food provided, and may be set to let and encourage the authorities to provide reasonably decent, sanitary, and healthful quarters and food.
For the purpose of providing suitable quarters for the safekeeping, care, and subsistence of all persons held under authority of any enactment of Congress, the Attorney General may contract, for a period not exceeding three years, with the proper authorities of any State, Territory, or political subdivision thereof, for the imprisonment, subsistence, care, and proper employment of such persons.
Such Federal prisoners shall be employed only in the manufacture of articles for, the production of supplies for, the construction of public works for, and the maintenance and care of the institutions of, the State or political subdivision in which they are imprisoned.
The rates to be paid for the care and custody of said persons shall take into consideration the character of the quarters furnished, sanitary conditions, and quality of subsistence and may be such as will permit and encourage the proper authorities to provide reasonably decent, sanitary, and healthful quarters and subsistence for such persons.
