And now the cons are getting all the healthy food they want, gyms better than Bally's, and the chance to sit on their buttocks all day and live better than most blue-collar workers do.
I'm all for the days of forced labor and chain gangs.



Not exactly true, not in all cases anyway. I have friends on the inside and with fuel going up and cost of food going up the food is getting less and the quality is getting worse too.They are living off of commissary food that is also getting more expensive. In many cases most of the gym equipment has been removed so they can't be used as weapons.
I agree we should go back to chain gangs and the prisoners should be paid for that service, I mean a small jail house pay not like minimum wage or anything, then they can use that in the commissary.Chain gang work should be made a privilege as with all the other jobs. If the inmate can't conform to the rules then take the job away and no more pay for him.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
