      (a) The Attorney General may make available to the heads of the
    several departments the services of United States prisoners under
    terms, conditions, and rates mutually agreed upon, for constructing
    or repairing roads, clearing, maintaining and reforesting public
    lands, building levees, and constructing or repairing any other
    public ways or works financed wholly or in major part by funds
    appropriated by Congress.
      (b) The Attorney General may establish, equip, and maintain camps
    upon sites selected by him elsewhere than upon Indian reservations,
    and designate such camps as places for confinement of persons
    convicted of an offense against the laws of the United States.
      (c) The expenses of transferring and maintaining prisoners at
    such camps and of operating such camps shall be paid from the
    appropriation "Support of United States prisoners", which may, in
    the discretion of the Attorney General, be reimbursed for such
    expenses.
      (d) As part of the expense of operating such camps the Attorney
    General is authorized to provide for the payment to the inmates or
    their dependents such pecuniary earnings as he may deem proper,
    under such rules and regulations as he may prescribe.
      (e) All other laws of the United States relating to the
    imprisonment, transfer, control, discipline, escape, release of, or
    in any way affecting prisoners, shall apply to prisoners
    transferred to such camps.
