Fight Federal Criminal Charges for Prison Made Goods with Spodek Law Group

The United States has a major mass incarceration problem, and the issue of prison-made goods has come under increased scrutiny in recent years. While many potential issues exist with prison conditions, there are rules in place to regulate prison-made goods.

Understanding the laws associated with prison-made goods is important to ensure that you do not violate any applicable laws. If you are found guilty of violating these laws, you could face severe penalties, including fines, imprisonment, or both. Conviction on such charges could have long-lasting consequences, including difficulty finding employment or housing. Therefore, it is critical to know what is permissible and what is not in the context of prison-made goods.

Spodek Law Group can help you fight federal criminal charges related to prison-made goods and protect your rights. Our knowledgeable and experienced federal defense attorneys know the ins and outs of the law and understand how prosecutors build their cases and conduct investigations. We can use this knowledge to help you fight the charges against you and work to negotiate an effective plea agreement, if necessary.

Understanding Federal Laws on Prison Made Goods

18 U.S. Code Chapter 85 addresses prison-made goods and sets out the rules for the transportation, importation, and marking of goods made by convicts or prisoners. The purpose of these rules is to ensure that prison-made goods are carefully regulated, and no unlawful misconduct occurs. Two statutes in this chapter specifically address prison-made goods: 18 U.S. Code section 1761 and 18 U.S. Code section 1762.

18 U.S. Code section 1761 prohibits knowingly transporting or importing goods manufactured, produced, or mined wholly or in part by convicts in prisons in interstate commerce. This could result in a fine and up to two years imprisonment. Exceptions are made for convicts or prisoners who are on parole, supervised release, or probation, or who are in a penal or reformatory institute. Agricultural commodities and farm machinery parts are also exempt.

Goods manufactured in federal, District of Columbia, or state institutions for use by the federal government, Washington D.C., or state or political subdivisions of states or nonprofit organizations are not subject to the statute. Additionally, goods made by prisoners who participate in more than 50 prison work pilot projects designed by the Director of the Bureau of Justice Assistance are exempt. Finally, goods made by convicts who receive wages similar to those earned in the same locality for similar work, with certain deductions, and those who have not been deprived of workers’ compensation or other employment benefits, are also exempt.

18 U.S. Code section 1762 requires that merchandise made wholly or in part by convicts or prisoners be clearly marked with details about the prison or reformatory where they were produced unless an exception applies. Failure to properly mark the goods could result in a fine and forfeiture of the goods to the United States.
