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 2343
Description[?]:
| Whereas, We believe that it is time to return to a more punitive policy toward lawbreakers, and Whereas, Requiring work from prisoners will help prevent recidivism by getting those who are used to making their money through criminal activity more used to having to work every day, and Whereas, There are some crimes so heinous that the death penalty is an imperative, We hereby propose to require prisoners to work a regular work week to help pay for the expense of their incarceration, and that in a few extreme circumstances the death penalty may be applied. |
