As a general rule, the inmates have to work in some small capacity as part of the programming and participation of the prison operations. Whether it be in sanitation, custodial, kitchen, landscaping, education, construction or other roles, the inmates run the prison overseen by COs (corrections officers). Some prisons have no inmate working as it is intake and assessment, usually at the beginning of the sentence. As a rule, pre-trial inmates do not have to work but each facility has their own rules and standards. 

These are the OCCC facilites we could think of...

Ohio County Correctional Center (OCCC) in WV 

Oahu Community Correctional Center in HI

Old Colony Correctional Center in MA

Oklahoma City Community Corrections Center in OK
