| Message | Prisoners, if they're going to receive any wages, should get minimum wage, and that's it. Frankly I don't think they should get anything though. |

| Date | 07:32:44, May 20, 2005 CET | From | Communist Party | To | Debating the Fair Compensation for Prisoners |
| Message | This proposal is intended to end the systematic exploitation of involuntary prison labor, to end the economic incentive for the government to increase the number of people in prison, and to stop the current system whereby low-paid prison labor drives down the wages of workers outside prison. |

| Message | When the original bill was passed, the Socialist Party's comment on our demand that prisoners be paid union scale was, "That is a matter for another bill." |
