If inmates were made to work, it would likely decrease crime. Therefore we will not do that.

I don't see it as an either-or situation. We can have both.

I don't feel like getting into the economics of it, but I can't imagine a mass prison work force being good for the country.

would rather do something like that with welfare recipients than people who have done something bad enough to get the death sentenc


I think that's a great idea. I still think prisoners should be productive though. There is nothing wrong with having a free labor force for certain tasks.

Nah, you're paying twice when you're employing illegals while also paying for prisoners to be kept alive. Pay once by putting the prisoners to work and cutting out the illegal labor.





This is EXACTLY what I'm talking about.

Most prisoners have some kind of job within the prison. It's actually sought after, and ability to work is one of the things they take away for disciplinary infractions. But there are limits to the kinds of work prisoners are suitable for. There are security considerations, of course, and even the nonviolent ones are handicapped by the same kind of personality dysfunctions that landed them behind bars.

I'm betting that you don't even know what "rights" are.
