| Message | No, they are prisoners and should be treated as such |
| Date | 19:47:24, September 16, 2005 CET | From | People's National Party | To | Debating the Prison Reform Act |
| Message | Exactly and that is why they should not work and be punished accordingly for their crime. It's time to get tough on criminals and stop giving them an easy ride. |

| Message | What are you talking about. Forcing criminals to work is getting free labor out of them... and thus helping the economy and helping offset the costs of the prisons. |
| Date | 11:15:15, September 17, 2005 CET | From | Mordusian Inclusion Party | To | Debating the Prison Reform Act |
| Message | Both sides raise interesting points. Prisoners should not earn a wage while incarcerated, but having them do nothing all day would be pretty useless. We'll try what the PNP is proposing, and see what happens. |
