This kind of thinking is exactly why most prisons do nothing to improve countries.
Not a bad idea to be honest. On the surface at least. But yeah if you do work in prison, there would be less incentive to relapse into crime if you have some savings once you're out.
You didn't mention serial killers and rapist I did because those are the ones I'm referring to specifically not petty criminals. Maybe I should have phrased that better. The repeat offenders who have committed brutal crimes repeatedly. Kill/hurt children etc should get diddly squat. The first time offenders and younger people who will most likely turn their lives around do deserve a chance to be rehabilitated and reintroduce into society. Offering people like that a minimum wage as as savings like @Dwazza Gunnar Solskjær mentioned should definitely be considered.
That's why I specifically said depending on the seriousness of the crime. I'm speaking mainly about MS13 gangs and similar who behead and mutilate and will most likely do it again. People who have committed violent crimes repeatedly with no remorse. Repeat offenders who continue to hurt people. Young people and others who don't have a history of violence by all means help them as much as you can but not these hardened criminals who will contribute nothing to society.
I was specifically referring to violent repeat criminals. What percentage of hardened criminals do you think are successfully rehabilitated? I'd say it's a very small percentage and most of them go right back to a life of crime the minute they are released or out on probation.
Bloody soft-on-crime librul lefties wanting to reward murderers with PlayStations and plasma TVs!
She really hates the thought of being dressed in all orange. Doesn't match her skin tone.
I receive multiple dozens a day, it seems. It’s just one mad dash for grift.
Piper was never bad looking in orange, could see the same thing happen with Sparkle Princess.

Never taken the time to unsubscribe. I’ll bet that is a closed loop that will just result in more emails (if that’s possible).
We have a minimum wage for prisoners. I mean, it's slightly lower than the other one, but still, they make at LEAST 75 cents per hour.
Just like Trump to go for the biggest and best banana republic.
I guess the argument is that unlike most people earning minimum wage they don't have to pay transport to get to work... don't have to buy their food, pay for medical insurance or pay rent or for a car etc?
I think more than making them earn wages, the fact that a criminal record basically makes you a pariah on the job market for life is to blame for recidivism. In a job driven market, no one is going to hire the guy with a criminal record over the similar guy without one.
I'm tempted to set up a few choice Gmail accounts like "feckdjtrump@gmail.com", sign them all up for those mails, then set them to auto-respond "Feck you, Donny"...
Did you at least manage to nick anything good?
Probably just sniffed his missus’ underwear and shat on his Persian rug, that’s all.

in fairness you cant walk to a local shop, need to drive to get anywhere
That's true, I've been to the suburbs of Dallas and you can't do anything without a car. It was tongue in cheek, poverty is poverty wherever you live.
When I first moved to this country people where shocked at me for walking a couple of miles to places. They said I could be murdered or mugged, I always said how could that be possible since there is no one walking except for me. This place is fecking weird.
Hate talk radio and right wing echo chambers repeat this, it's no wonder they believe it.
