Bill: Slave Labour Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Dorvish Popular Front
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: March 2053
Description[?]:
| Forcing prisoners to work is a form of slavery. Even though they may have committed crimes they should still have basic human rights, such as not being exploited by the govt or corporations. Furthermore, allowing them to work for a small wage will teach them the rewards that come with working and therefore rehabilitate them more. If we force them to work they will see no gains to working and will be embittered and more likely to re-offend. |

| Message | While we wholeheartedly support the use of prison labor as a means to help prisoners rehabilitate, we believe that paying them a small wage would also give them some money when they leave so that they don't have to return to crime, and also teach them real work experience, not just slave labor experiences. I affirm. |
