Prison Wages??

[Orleander]

If they have good behavior they get out to rake leaves at the parks, plant the flowers, and pick up trash. I don't think they get paid for it, but they get to have what looks like freedom (ignore the man with the rifle) and they eat at a picnic table. They kind of stand out in their orange jumpsuit.
Its amazing how many stupid teenage girls try to flirt with them from afar.

that is not absurd. Someone committing a crime does not make them less human, and while the people who actually deserve to be there shouldnt get the same rights as people on the outside, these are still people that we are talking about.

The term "I disagree" to what I had replied to was not an inaccurate use of that term.

It was. The statement was "prisoners have rights". You replied "I disagree". Your intention was not conveyed because you failed to use the language accurately. (Now go on a silly rant about semantics. Go on. Be my guest.)

I think you are one of those people that must resort to calling others "ignorant" if they disagree with you.

You know virtually nothing about me. I did not call you ignorant. I observed that your statement would derive either from poor language usage, or ignorance. We have now established poor language skills as the cause, so ignorance is out for the moment.

Prisoners HAVE rights but they SHOULD NOT; they hurt others, that relinquishes their protection by the law (or, it should)

So if someone is imprisoned for thirty days for refusing to pay local taxes on some principal or other they could be beaten, tortured, starved, etc? Anything is acceptable. They should have no rights whatsoever. It is an interesting world you would like to live in.

Ah, so wanting to punish criminals is primitive; thanks, now at least I know you are probably an ex-convict or something.

... or something. You might wish to explore some of the research relating to prisoners and how their behaviour after release is conditioned by their treatment during their sentence.

Surely no one as rude as yourself could have many friends.

Be assured I am only rude to the deserving, such as yourself, and would most certainly not wish you as a friend, acquaintance, relative, or colleague.

umm isnt rape in prision a big enough problem as it is?

if there wife, gf, hooker is willing to sleep with them and this cuts down on assults on other prisioners and prision guards they should be THANKED for it

The whole idea is to separate them from those who they could do harm to WHILE THEY ARE REHABILITATED. Its not to FUTHER traumitise them (by getting them raped) or turn them into a WORSE person

as for paying them i thought slavery was illegal?
If they work they SHOULD be paid like everyone else. This would mean we need to pay less as a sociaty when they ARE relaced and have to go on the dole
