| Date | 21:26:18, March 09, 2010 CET | From | Hutorian Conservative Party | To | Debating the Prison Labor Act |
| Message | Madam Speaker, we are not proposing slave labor! We are proposing that those who have commited a crime should be forced into doing work while they are serving their sentence. Remember that these people are criminals and deserve to do some form of manual labor! |
