"Indian outsourcing firm Radiant Info Systems has found yet another way to lower wages — hiring data entry clerks from a local prison. Some 200 inmates will be paid $2.20 a day to handle manual data entry tasks for Radiant's BPO deals in a pilot for the scheme. Radiant execs told the BBC that the deal will provide skills to inmates when they are released from prison. No doubt they would also be due for a pay raise."

That Goldman Sachs and Royal Bank of Scotland are going to use the outsourcing group that employs the Indian prisoners to handle their paperwork should make folks a little wary.
