Meaningful employment serves to develop those skills. It is also true, however, that care must be exercised to avoid either the exploitation of convict labor or any unfair competition between convict labor and free labor in the production of goods and services." The Executive order does not prohibit the contractor, in performing the contract, from employing-                                                         (1) 								                Persons on parole or probation;                                                            (2) 								                Persons who have been pardoned or who have served their terms;                                                            (3) 								                Federal prisoners; or                                                            (4) 								                Nonfederal prisoners authorized to work at paid employment in the community under the laws of a jurisdiction listed in the Executive order if-                                                                           (i) 										                    The worker is paid or is in an approved work training program on a voluntary basis;                                                                              (ii) 										                    Representatives of local union central bodies or similar labor union organizations have been consulted;                                                                              (iii) 										                    Paid employment will not-                                                                                             (A) 												                        Result in the displacement of employed workers;                                                                                                (B) 												                        Be applied in skills, crafts, or trades in which there is a surplus of available gainful labor in the locality; or                                                                                                (C) 												                        Impair existing contracts for services;                                                                                                                                         (iv) 										                    The rates of pay and other conditions of employment will not be less than those for work of a similar nature in the locality where the work is being performed; and                                                                              (v) 										                    The Attorney General of the United States has certified that the work-release laws or regulations of the jurisdiction involved are in conformity with the requirements of Executive Order11755, as amended.
