| If you commit a crime in this country you will be taken to a forced labour prison and made to work long hours, everyday, as unpaid labour for the benefit of private corporate profit. If anyone resists they are beaten by prison guards and put in solitary confinement. In other words, the punishment for committing a crime in this country is forced labour and slavery. It's absolutely barbaric and it should stop. |

| Date | 02:29:50, November 03, 2013 CET | From | Black Mordusia | To | Debating the Prohibition of Forced Labour Bill |
| Message | It is not barbaric at all! What's barbaric are the acts of these criminals that got them into prison in the first place! At the very least, they should work so that they can pay for their own food etc., and not the taxpayers, who for some reason have to pay for these scumbags' 'rehabilitation'... |
