Give them minimum wage and take a significant percentage of it to pay for their housing and other expenses. Let them use the money to pay for college classes while incarcerated. That is how you rehabilitate them.

Amend the constitution first. Change the 13th amendment. No other civilized country on earth has such inhumane system as USA.. shameful!!

Living in California, I am thankful for the prisoners who help our fires. They should be compensated fairly.

I mean, of course, help to fight our fires.

Pennies on the dollar and yet they pay full price for commissary items and the calls to loved ones through the phone systems can cost so much that many cannot talk to their families

Innocent people—likely poor people of color—are in prison due to plea deals to avoid even longer unjust sentences. 13th amendment perpetuated slavery for those “duly convicted” & our criminal injustice system continues to exploit this slavery. Shameful!

Perhaps I don’t understand. These are incarcerated convicted criminals who R removed from society 2 pay for crimes they comitted. They don’t buy their food or pay rent. They don’t reimburse victims. Jail isn’t supposed to be nice. All wages paid shd go toward repaying taxpayers.

The 13th amendment specifically allows slavery for the convicted, but this protests that. Also protested is the racism of mass incarceration, prison's punitive role to the near complete exclusion of rehabilitiion and voting rights:https://incarceratedworkers.org/campaigns/prison-strike-2018 …

Trump's fault?
-
Of course not. He seems to be for prison reform. This has nothing to do with Trump though. A lot of issues aren’t his fault. They’re just being addressed now because the people organizing related movements are adults now and finally have a voice.

Copy that. I was trolling the nyt.

That’s fair. I hate all bias in news

Oh gahdang! Make them pay for their incarceration and towards a victim‘s fund. NEVER FORGET there is a family still living victimized by the convicted!
-
I love how your post is implies that most people are in prison are convicted of murder or killing someone, or that all crimes have victims.

This is complete B.S. NOone wants to here about a damn inmate strike. They are incarcerated felons. If you catch anyone striking or conspiring to revolt. They should add 25% more time on to their original sentence. That will stop this ignorance.

Your tweet is complete BS...samboing for the man...

Explain your ignorant response!!

No I said explain it in proper language. Not with poor grammar and ignorance. So I will disregard you low
brotha. I’d rather not loose
matter in lowering my language ability in order to speak on this subject. Your not smart enough to understand what I would tell you anyway!
