| Message | So you're advocating we pay child rapists, murderers, and other criminals to do jobs in prison? Small wage or not, that is unacceptable. |
| Date | 08:08:42, May 01, 2009 CET | From | Liberaldemokratische Allianz | To | Debating the Humane Prisons Act, 2749 |
| Message | Read Article 1 of this at. Those convicted of violent or serious crimes would not be eligible. Other prisoners, who will be let back into society, will be given the tools necessary to make them into productive members of society through education. |

| Message | I did not notice that. However, the FAP still thinks that spending money trying to rehab criminals (small time burgler or serial killer) when they already failed in the regular Hulstrian school system is a waste. |
