They make decent license plates for automobiles here in Oklahoma.

Oh, the womens prisons make dentures too.

It probably takes jobs away from civilians.

I imagine noris is making roll ups for the crew as we speak

Robots take jobs from civilians.

Yeah, make them graft. All the jobs we don't wanna do. The worse the crime, the worse the grime - minor offences? Pack chickens in a fridge, do hot cast iron moulding, etc. Major offences? Sewage works, sewer cleaning, etc.

If prisons were hell labour, we'd have three clear benefits:
1) These jobs would get done, and the money saved goes to good causes.
2) Prisons would actually work, and deter people from risking going back there.
3) We could give shorter sentences where applicable, as the time would be more effective, saving prison space/cost.

Getting soaped-up in the showers

Reminds me of Metropolis..

I think punishment is a good thing, not sure of what work to give them but even if its up at 5 everyday to dig holes and fill them in or move massive piles of rocks or sandbags around all day its a good idea, better than them sitting around all day doing nothing .

Cleaning out the London sewerage drains, once a week when they are clogged up with used jam rags, tampons, condom's, n especially fat from nearby establishments.

Get the fkin c*nts busting rocks.

I think they already do that

Should be opt in only for inmates who want to work

Should be non-profit projects improving community.

We used to have a print shop in my nick. There was always jobs available for cleaners and such like but the only other jobs were in the print shop. Paid about 18 quid a week. Done all the printing for various government depts.

Prisoners shouldn't have an option, they get told to do something then they do it, they should have no rights whatsoever.

Sounds complicated...
Like a lot of paperwork.

Why don't we just gas all violent and repeat offenders.
Then use all the cash we save on education and vocational training for the inmates who remain.

Prisoners deserve rights too. The objective of jail/prison is to remove these people from society because they are a threat, not to just remove their rights.

There are so many different socio-economic realities in play with incarceration, especially in India. Often times people end up in jail because they are a product of their environment, and are doing what they do because they can't escape.

I think it is at the core of our government that we are free to pursue life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Now, obviously that freedom is limited due to crimes (especially heinous crimes like r*pe or murder etc) but let me take it to the farthest extreme. A man kills someone, and gets the death penalty. What good does that accomplish? Now, we can of course argue whether he deserves to be alive or not. I'm of the opinion that he does.

Why? Because the records prove that a large number of people sentenced to death were later found to be innocent. At least they could have resumed their lives if they were not dead. I know this is going to sound made up, but 2.45 out of 3.73 lakh prisoners in India have not yet been found guilty. They may be innocent. They are behind bars, not beyond justice.

If a person is proven guilty of a terrible crime, they are indeed a terrible person. They are no longer a threat to society once they are imprisoned for life, but killing them leaves no room for grace/forgiveness/reconciliation. It eliminates that. They die, and it is over. Justice may have been served, but there is no positive outcome.

So I believe in the basic human rights of inmates, just like any other person and if anyone bothered reading this, I hope I was of some help/insight lol

They can still clean sewers, tho.

Focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment is far more effective. If you want proof just look at the prison systems of the USA and Sweden.

It would depend on who the prisoners are working for. If they're being forced to work for a privately owned for profit company, as is increasingly the case and especially so in the US, then it's effectively slave labour.
