| Message | Forced labor is inhumane, and despicable. You are not in good standing Democratic Party. This is very close to fascism, and I am appalled at your twisted version of Democratic views. John J. Johnson, President of the WSP |

| Message | All citizens should make contributions to society, this labor is neither to torture nor to diminish the dignity of the convicted prisoners, but to make a fairer society for everyone. Why should innocent people have to go to work while criminals ist around all day? There are many things that need to be fixed, especially if we believe labor is torture, we all have to work, we all have responsibilities and tat includes convicted felons as well. |

| Message | This is why we endorse this bill, because it helps to ensure that things like roads and garbage disposal are carried out by the government. This labor has a greater good in mind and, personally, Worker's Socialist Party, I don't believe you're looking at the whole picture. You're just focusing on the negative "inhumane" side of labor, while those people actually comitted inhumane acts and are in jail paying their sentences for those acts. So no, I don't believe giving people responsibilities towards their society is inhumane. And, if we talk about twisted political visions, a true socialist party would believe that giving everyone a fair share of responsibility is necessary and good for society, Everleigh Swinton Leader of the Democratic Party |

| Message | People aren't forced to work in society, they have an option. Prisoners should not be treated as sub-humans, but I suppose this is Mrs. Swinton's idea of "fair". John J. Johnson |
| Date | 06:12:01, November 04, 2017 CET | From | Democratic Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Prison Labor |
| Message | This is not about treating anyone as "sub-humans" this is about contributing to society, and even convicted felons have obligations towards the Federal Republic of Likatonia. Everleigh Swinton Democratic Party Leader Arizona Abbott Chair of Democratic Party Justice Committee |
