Option E, you're a moron.
Of course I read the article. I never said all of the prisoners were paid, I said prisoners should not be paid. That obviously applies to those who are paid and excludes those who are not. Also lol at "modern day slavery". Want to throw "oppression" in there too? Im sure there are some more buzzwords. These people are locked up because they committed crimes that the state deemed bad enough that they needed to be taken out of the general public. They're not owed a salary. Give your bleeding heart a rest, fool.
Do you really not see how free labor gives the state an incentive to lock up as many people as possible? That's absolutely modern day slavery. Adding, "Yeah, but these guys
deserve it" doesn't change that.
More, we should want our prisons to be structured in such a way that when people get out, they have a chance to have a decent go of it. If they're paid and allowed to accrue money so that they've got some cash when they get out, they're much more likely to have a better time of it than if they're just dumped outside the gate with the clothes they wore in.
