No, people need money to afford their housing, food, clothing, etc. Most people acquire that money through labor, but they can select between a variety of employers and quit whenever they want.
- seti0Cha 4y agoThere are lots of freedoms most people have that people in prison do not. Why should freedom to choose their job be different?
- jjk166 4y agoWell the argument that "prisoners should be expected to do the same things non-prisoners do" really breaks down when you acknowledge that their circumstances are fundamentally different from those outside of prison. And as for why freedom to choose their job should be different, we sort of agreed as a society quite some time ago that slavery is wrong.
