National prison strike launches over underpaid labor and prison conditions
Has everyone forgotten that these people are all convicted of a crime and serving their sentences?For all the issues that exist (gouging for common services, violence, the judicial process, etc.) complaining about the terms of their punishment is absurd.To be sure there should be rehabilitation, and a component of that is incentives. There should be no expectation, though, that those incentives should correlate to what they may receive in the free market.
