Just why should any prisoner be paid for working when they have been convicted and are servicing their sentence? They have given up any rights as they have been convicted and are costing all our countries huge sums of money, so why would we paid them to any work they doing inside prison. They should work and not be paid at all.

Bleeding heart Liberals is the reason why this is being given any press. The answer, put all the bleeding heart Liberals in prison

Well I'm not sure what to make of this.

Don't be so quick to condemn the idea - we'll likely all be in the prison system soon. 65 million Americans and counting.

I should add that the principal of our child's middle school told us and other parents that if a 13 year old tossed a wood chip (under handed as part of play) and it bounced and touched the back of a teacher's shoe that he would call the police and have the child arrested.

I wish that was an April Fool's joke but it was not and as such we're taking our child to private school as a result. We're all in prison - some more than others.

That principal is a douche bag and any cop wouldn't arrest the child for the accident anyway. A good cop would arrest the principal for wasting their time.
