    I mean, sure? If someone goes to prison you probably don’t want them making a full time wage, while having everything else paid for. Its meant to be worse than living out.

    Different discussions can and should be held if they are being forced to work, for profit prisons, or options to work and gain skills or experience in trades, or to fund study. But at a surface level it sounds fair.

        Care to elaborate? Because what I’m seeing is that you want those imprisoned, who are deliberately separated from society and deprived them of rights like personal freedom, to have the same rights and access to advancement?

        Make no mistake, im not saying deprive them of basic human right - the prison system is bad enough. But they are meant to be deprived of freedom.
