  No. The bleeding heart liberals just can't deal with any more filth on the streets, public masturbators, and general disarray

  Putting aside the cynical jab, as a general principle, there is nothing wrong with putting prisoners to work. There is a difference between chattel slavery and indentured servitude. The latter is a perfectly legitimate punishment to pay off the debt to society that justice demands. Why you or others think this is wrong, I don't understand. That's what justice is: paying a debt. When working, at least you aren't just rotting in prison, but contributing to some social good, perhaps even learning a skill. That is one problem with our prisons, the rotting. We throw people into what is a savage factory and forget about them, letting them rot in a nexus of gangs and thugs. Because punishment has three ends, viz., retribution, rehabilitation, and deterrence, work meets all three criteria to one degree or another.

    >" there is nothing wrong with putting prisoners to work." Prisons for profit leads to increasing length of incarceration and simply putting in prison people who should not be there. >"That's what justice is: paying a debt" I do not believe in debt and punishment. I think it should be about deterrence and rehabilitation. Yes some people are rotten to the core and can't be rehabilitated. So they'll stay behind the bars.
