| Message | No. The prisoners can work, but they will not be enslaved. They will belong to no one and will not be abused, only punished for wrong-doing. |

| Message | It's true, if a slave works well and respects his master, he is treated well in return... usually, but prisoners, their all treated like crap. |

| Message | I completely agree, thats my opinion exactly. I'd like to see all the evil bastards in prison killed, and the redeemable guys left sold off as indentured servants. It'd be better for everybody, trust me. |
