I don't even want to imagine what these workplaces would be like. It seems like a way of remaking low-wage employment in the image of the asylum.

Strangeland's example of the Civilian Conservation Corps suggests a better model: Work relief programs that both allow young people to enter the workforce, serving as an alternative to the military or college, while also providing an opportunity for older workers to retrain.
Retail has already done this.

And call centers

I'm all for it - the wage should be at least minimum wage. It should be called, the 'right to work'.

Agreed as well
