    They're volunteering for this work. Why is everyone so upset? They're not doing it to get paid, they're doing it so they can go outside, sleep somewhere outside the prison, and often times get referrals for jobs once they get out.

    We're allowing prisoners to have a purpose, while getting to go outside the prison, be paid, learn a new trade, and reduce their sentence. If we were forcing them to do this work for no pay and no benefits while they spend life in prison, then it would be something to be upset about.
