Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

| Why should a convicted criminal be allowed to relax in prison? Prison is not a spa, tax payers pay for prisons, staff, and the meals of the prisoners. Lets make prisoners work for their food like everyone else. Prisoners took something from society when they committed a crime, lets make them give something back. |

| Message | We are not in support of this. Our view of prison is that it should be a place of rehabilitation, not a place for punishment, or giving back to society. The current law allows prisoners to make money while incarcerated, giving them opportunity to get a good start back into the world. |
