When a society controlled by a majority gets to stipulate what is and is not a crime. You can’t see how that would lead to issues? I don’t like XYZ that you LOVE doing, so Ill go and make that a crime, now you are a criminal, better get to work.
You’re both in the right. This isn’t a black and white issue.
It’s a very humane thing to allow prisoners to still be useful, contribute to society, and learn new skills. As long as they get a fair wage, aren’t worked to the bone, and aren’t imprisoned solely to enrich some wannabe plantation owner, it can be a positive thing.
Digging a ditch? Farming? Both skills I don’t have. No idea what’s actually going on in the photo because I don’t have context. That’s kind of the point.
But I agree, they should be getting a fair wage. I even said that in my comment.

So… as long as pretty much everything about is different?
The premise of prisoners having jobs is the core thread here.
