Bill: Prison Work Reform Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Telamon Royalist 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: March 2293
Description[?]:
| Presently, prisoners are made to work during their terms of imprisonment. We view that as an act of enslavement to the state, one that makes us no better than the Nuncirists. We recommend a voluntary prisoner work program, with an in-prison commissary where prisoners can purchase some of the things, such as toothpaste, which they desire, with the money they earn at those volunteer jobs. |
