Work and Industry programs are an important part of the daily activities for all inmates. Inmates are employed in the usual correctional institution work assignments including maintenance, food service, labor crews, janitorial, laundry, law library, and infirmary. Those who have earned the privilege of being in level one status are afforded the opportunity to work in Prison Industries. At High Desert, approximately 160 inmates are employed in the current prison industry program of card sorting. Prison industry is attempting to develop work programs for the facility.
