| Message | It should depend on the conviction - low security inmates should be exempt from this work. However, we will support this bill. For now, at the very least. |
| Date | 01:52:18, September 28, 2018 CET | From | National Conservative Party | To | Debating the Prison Labour Reform 4461 |
| Message | Prisons are meant for rehabilitation, they're not gulags. |
| Date | 04:04:07, September 28, 2018 CET | From | Reform Party | To | Debating the Prison Labour Reform 4461 |
| Message | What sort of "conservative" party are you exactly? You support authoritarian national service and socialist college tuition, and then talk about prisons being meant for rehabilitation. Forced labour is something you reserve the right to give young people without a say, so why not guilty prisoners? There is no reason why this forced work couldn't also be rehabilitative anyway. |

| Message | We don't like the National Service Program and its forced labour either and we would very much like to reform it or even get rid of it when the economy's ready for it, but almost half of our economy is run by the labour of those in the NSP and completely scrapping it right now would be an idiotic thing to do. And, anyway, there is quite a difference between requiring students who receive government funded tuition to do a few years of national service and putting prisoners through slave labour for whatever minor or major crimes they may have committed. We may not seem so conservative right now, but that's because we don't want to completely destroy Kalistan by implementing our preferred policies too quickly, like what you Reformers are doing right now. |
| Date | 17:57:18, September 28, 2018 CET | From | Kalistan First | To | Debating the Prison Labour Reform 4461 |
| Message | The Reform Party seems to be correct on this matter, criminals should be working and definitely not paid. They're criminals not people. |
