Sec. 4002. Federal prisoners in State institutions; employment
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.
