| Message | We support offering education and job training during prison, however all of these programs should be voluntary - whilst simultaneously encouraged. |
| Date | 05:38:29, August 03, 2017 CET | From | Centre Radical | To | Debating the Prisoner Job Training Act |
| Message | While we understand the point brought up by the PSD, we firmly believe that idle hands are dangerous in a prison setting. We would have hoped the proposal could stipulate that education and trainings could be substituted for labor and that labor would have to follow humane guidelines, but we did not have that option. |

| Random quote: "John Burroughs has stated that experimental study of animals in captivity is absolutely useless. Their character, their habits, their appetites undergo a complete transformation when torn from their soil in field and forest. With human nature caged in a narrow space, whipped daily into submission, how can we speak of its potentialities?" - Emma Goldman |
