One of the programs I have worked with are sheltered workshops. These programs attempt to make certain individuals as independent as possible, through janitorial training, for example. They are allowed to be paid less than minimum wage under certain Federal guidelines. These people are not going to get a brass ring. Period.

Let me take this one step further... Let's look at your sheltered workshop. I truly believe that anyone who puts in 40 hours deserves adequate food, shelter and heathcare. And I'm also convinced that such a policy would ultimately be less costly in both dollars and human dignity than the present system.
