Wait--what? This is getting too confusing. It seems you are asking this for a niece who is incarcerated? If she is in prison how did she earn over $12,000 in prison? Please explain that. Your original question made it sound like she was working for the prison as an independent contractor---now you say she is an inmate. What is the source of the income?
