Message | Article 1 is nice but we cannot support Article 2. |
Date | 12:14:00, May 13, 2019 CET | From | Conservative Democrats | To | Debating the Legal Bill - Legal Aid and Prison Labor. |
Message | We believe that people should not be given any form of work in prisons, when there are people who aren't able to make ends meet. You do the crime you pay the time! Not do the crime and get work and qualifications. |
Date | 18:50:41, May 13, 2019 CET | From | Republican Party | To | Debating the Legal Bill - Legal Aid and Prison Labor. |
Message | Article 2 is bad because allowing prisoners to do some tasks for wages will allow them to transition better to the workforce knowing what the expectations are for holding a job |
