Penal labour is a generic term for various kinds of unfree labour which prisoners are required to perform, typically manual labour. The work may be light or hard, depending on the context. Forms of sentence involving penal labour have included involuntary servitude, penal servitude and imprisonment with hard labour. The term may refer to several related scenarios: labour as a form of punishment, the prison system used as a means to secure labour, and labour as providing occupation for convicts. These scenarios can be applied to those imprisoned for political, religious, war, or other reasons as well as to criminal convicts.
Punitive labour, also known as convict labour, prison labour, or hard labour, is a form of forced labour used in both past and present as an additional form of punishment beyond imprisonment alone. Punitive labour encompasses two types: productive labour, such as industrial work; and intrinsically pointless tasks used as primitive occupational therapy, punishment and/or physical torment.
Penal (originally Peñeraal of a Spanish origin) or पीनल is a town in south Trinidad and Tobago. It lies south of San Fernando and Debe, and north of Siparia. It was originally a rice and cocoa producing area but is now a rapidly expanding and developing town. The population is 12,281.
The heart of Penal contains many businesses while the outskirts focus on agricultural development. Penal has a police station, branches of three banks (Scotiabank, Republic Bank and First Citizens Bank) health facilities, photo studios, fast food restaurants, service stations and clothing stores.
Penal plays a major role in the energy supply to the nation's populace. Petrotrin, the national oil company, has a major sub-unit in Clarke Road and the National Gas Company has gas lines running through Penal that links the gas fields of the South East Coast and the industrial estates. One of the countries three major power generating plants owned by Powergen Ltd is located at Syne Village to the west of Penal.

California may ban forced prison labor, servitude
California could ban involuntary servitude as lawmakers move toward potential ballot measurers that would remove all forms of slavery from their state constitution.
Penal labour is a generic term for various kinds of unfree labour which prisoners are required to perform, typically manual labour. The work may be light or hard, depending on the context. Forms of sentence involving penal labour have included involuntary servitude, penal servitude and imprisonment with hard labour. The term may refer to several related scenarios: labour as a form of punishment, the prison system used as a means to secure labour, and labour as providing occupation for convicts. These scenarios can be applied to those imprisoned for political, religious, war, or other reasons as well as to criminal convicts.
Punitive labour, also known as convict labour, prison labour, or hard labour, is a form of forced labour used in both past and present as an additional form of punishment beyond imprisonment alone. Punitive labour encompasses two types: productive labour, such as industrial work; and intrinsically pointless tasks used as primitive occupational therapy, punishment and/or physical torment.
Hospital leaders said they felt they were penalized for not participating in Leapfrog’s biannual survey, saying it is time consuming and labor intensive to gather that information, as well as said ...
One said the laborer who died technically wasn’t an employee ... But in some circumstances, it can penalize employers who fail to keep laborers safe from dangerous heat — particularly when fatalities occur ... His breathing became labored.
This form of contracted penal servitude, and the assumption that prisoners should do compulsory labor, were precursors to both the convict-leasing regimes of the late 19th century and the carceral labor that persists today.
President Yoon Suk Yeol is seen in this Nov. 7 photo. Yonhap ...South Korea's criminal law stipulates that the "ringleader" in the crime of insurrection is punishable by death, life imprisonment or a life sentence with penal labor. (Yonhap). .
The government should focus on upholding and protecting the rights and labor protections for those sex workers with employment contracts rather than penalizing or punishing those without.
Their labor is for the most part barely compensated, at rates far below minimum wage ... While the Constitution allows forced labor in prison, it is the PenalCode that mandates it ... to end forced labor.
President-Elect Donald Trump and his allies now face a fundamental decision ... [ Read ... [ Read ... (Adjustments could be made so as not to penalize high-performing agencies and units.) Lastly, labor relations in the civil service need an overhaul ... .
