Well isn’t that part of your job or do you actually do it out of kindness. We are having some bad problems in some US prisons. Certain groups are actually advocating for emptying all prisons. One warden in LA put out a warning about a possible crime wave after he was forced to release over 1,000 prisoners. Odd though, the people protesting to get back to work are nuts, the people protesting to empty the prisons don’t get much press
Volunteer work here means you do it in your spare time and do not get paid for it.

On your other separate note, we are also releasing people early from prison which are women with babies/pregnant, vulnerable to the disease and those that have 2 months to go on their sentence. This is all subject to risk and the prison's accidentally let some out that did not meet that criteria. I think they came back when asked.
