HE STATUS of a prisoner with respect to his rights under the workmen's compensation laws is one of exceptional interest, particularly at the present time when recent legislation and the increased use of convicts in connection with the war effort have served to focus attention upon the subject. The compensation problems of the prisoner are mainly concerned with whether he is an employee under the workmen's compensation law and, if so, whether he has a right to prosecute a claim for benefits before state and federal commissions. Stated more concisely, these are questions of the prisoner's status (1) as an employee, and (2) as a litigant. I. Status As Employee
