Federal Penitentiary Inmates
In some cases, if you are injured or become ill while you are serving a sentence or on day parole, you may qualify for compensation similar to workers’ compensation.
Compensation applies only if the accident happens during an approved program, such as a work activity or training course, or if the illness is considered an occupational disease contracted through a work activity or training course.
