California AB746 establishes the Inmate Cooperative Program to create worker cooperatives within state prisons.

California AB746 creates the Inmate Cooperative Program to facilitate the establishment of worker cooperatives within state prisons. These cooperatives will allow inmates to work in environmentally sustainable industries, such as renewable energy, eco-friendly manufacturing, waste management, and sustainable agriculture. Inmates will receive wages managed by a cooperative community partner, which will deduct 40% of gross wages for a Green Cooperative Reentry Reserve. Twenty percent of net wages will go to the inmate's trust account and another 20% to a savings account.
