| Message | No, this work prepares them for reintegration into society, if they don't prepare in this way, they are setting themselves up to be put back into prison. |

| Message | Voluntary work would prepare them for society. Forcing people to work is just inhumane. Justifying this by saying they will just go back to prison is simply naive. |
