This means that your inmate has been well-behaved and earned a custody/security-level status reduction.

This means that your inmate has been well-behaved and earned a custody/security-level status reduction. The work camp is a detail that is reserved for the most trusted inmates. Their living conditions are more like an army barracks than a prison. There are no cells and very few if any fences. Their daily routine starts to resemble more like a normal citizen than a typical inmate (where movement is restricted and rules are tight). We think you should view this as a good thing for your inmate.
