        One problem (there are many) with not caring about the rights of criminals is that “criminal” is not an immovable line. Governments can, have, and do throw away the rights of criminals using these kinds of arguments, and then re-categorize groups of people they don’t like as criminals.

          Are we talking about the ethical considerations regarding prison work or are we talking about specific issues regarding reintegrating criminals back into society?

            Good question, I’m not sure what your stance is. You seem to be saying two different things.

            • Prisoners should have work available to them so that they can maintain a sense of normalcy and reintegrate with society.
            • Prisoners are in prison of their own choice, so we can make them work against their will.

            Are those both representations of your beliefs? I don’t want to strawman you.
