The USA government have figured this out that's why the ordered all these bullets and giving them to staff at IRS etc as if they will defend the country, A government has a duty to care and treat all its people decent not punish some and let others do as they please as anything else will lead to downfall and you just have to look at history to see that.
Don't know about the UK, but in the states there is plenty of work that could be given to these people.

So basically, terms of the agreement is
"I will give you your dole money if you work for less than the minimum wage"
Wont be surprised when young men start choosing to go to prison rather than "work" because they know there's no real jobs available to them and this working for your dole money is just a farce while the government laugh's it way to its banker's houses to beg for political donations.
The rich are screwing this country. Its appalling.
It was the Labour party and bloody Tony Blair that created this benefit culture and lifestyle.
If we didn't have all this immigration, also coused by the Labour party and bloody Tony Blair,....
.....then there would be plenty of jobs we could force the lazy, workshy, drunked, drug riddled scroungers to do.

Your mate should never have been allowed to stand in the dock while under the influence of any substance. Turn Keys and Police should have kept the person in question locked up until he was sober/straight enough to answer for his crimes. Is there no chance your friend can lodge an appeal on the grounds that he was under the influence, possibly get a reduction in sentence? Especially so if his Jelly habit was already on record.
(Sorry this is a little off topic)

In a country with a supposed minimum wage this is simply illegal.
They should be getting £5.13 or £6.50 per hour depending on there age and even then its quite frankly nowhere near enough to live.
You've got a very good point there! Someone should be fairly compensated for their work....
Well if they get government subsistence like housing, food, transport. is that not compensation?
This maybe true; the problem is that the grunt job of cleaning up trash and such is not a profit producing job.
This would be a service provided by the government. In which case if it was done by paid government employees YOU as the tax payer would have to pay for this which would require you to pay more taxes.
