| Message | Except that setting them up such that they are paid meets the goal of rehabilitation which is what prisons should be for. It's a pity that Sekowo has such a backwards outlook on the treatment of prisoners. |
| Date | 07:26:52, April 19, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the CP.0082.2562 Prison Labour Bill |
| Message | At least Sekowans will not have cause to commit crimes simply to get free food and lodging. |

| 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. |
