| Message | No, No, and No. Are you trying to make this country a criminal's paradise? If these proposals pass, we might as well lay down a red carpet and welcome the rough crowd from throughout Terra. |

| Message | We like all but Article 5 and 7. Article 5 is unrealistic and while we do believe some education may prove beneficial for rehabilitation we would never support prisoners earning a single penny. They are being punished after all. |
