And every time there's an employment issue for the agricultural industry, they whip out the prisoners... However to the prisoner's credit: They do an absolutely terrible job at whatever it is they're doing. Why? What are they going to do... Fire you? Jail you? You have no incentive at all to do the job well as a prisoner. Bonus is by doing a horrific job it makes employers less likely to actually request prison workforces. permalink fedilink source parent
