| Message | Both articles are excellent and the UP is entirely proud to support this badly needed reform package! |
| Date | 11:01:38, September 10, 2005 CET | From | Marchioness Party | To | Debating the Prison Reform Bill |
| Message | The Marchioness Party is satisfied with this resolution - provided that prisoners are provided with meaningful work which is focused on job skilling for their future release. This resolution should not seek to provide companies with a low cost, state regulated workforce. |
| Date | 11:26:50, September 10, 2005 CET | From | National Socialist Party of Deltaria | To | Debating the Prison Reform Bill |
| Message | This regulation can do both, but naturally the focus will remain on rehabilitation. This doesn't mean we should actively avoid the boons of cheap prisoner labour. |
| Date | 12:13:56, September 10, 2005 CET | From | Marchioness Party | To | Debating the Prison Reform Bill |

| Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
