Bill: Prison Work Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Leviathan Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: July 2037
Description[?]:
| A key problem with the transition from prison to normal life is that prisoners often leave without the skills or resources to reintegrate into society. Allowing prisoners to work, if they choose to, as they serve their sentence allows them to save money that will help them establish themselves when the leave prison, as well as giving them a marketable job skill. |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
