Bill: Further Prisoner Reform Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Sekowan Freedom Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: October 2227
Description[?]:
| We propose to allow prisoners to work for small wages, so that they may become accustomed to 'work life' and financial savvy when they are released. Also, already having some savings just out of prison would help to lessen their need to re-enter a life of crime for money, It also develops work ethic and prison time could be used not only as a roadblock to employment but as a showing of employment experience. Finally, governments (federal or local) can become more self sufficient by producing their own licence plates and traffic ticket books, maintaining their own grounds and vehicles, cleaning the own prison uniforms, and whatever else we can figure out. This system would benefit everyone from government, prisoner, and civilian levels, and we believe the benefits of this program outweigh any concerns over 'rewarding the criminal'. |

| Random quote: "In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a cheque. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - Martin Luther King Jr. |
