Same. The idea that to better pass time in jail, free labor is the best option, says more about the problem than anything. I’ve been to jail, not much, but enough to understand the perspective. These people go to work to kill time, move around. That’s it. Normalcy.
Meanwhile the education in the prisons are non existent.
There should be more constructive activities, as well as the option for work.
All that and then you are released and told to “not come back” while the hurdle for re entering society is set to such a height that keeps people coming back, to work more for free.
It’s not just an issue with the work program but the entire thing as a whole, including our 2 party system and capitalism.
Working for almost nothing and getting free early, for me it only reinforces the slavery argument.
