2. I have no problem with prisoners earning their keep but

I think this is not the way to go They will be taking jobs away from people who do need to pay rent and companies should not profit from prison labor. I do not think it is a good idea to give any kind of personal information to someone who is in prison because they stole people's money or broke into someone's homes. I understand it happens in this country and I think it is a very bad idea.

I think that we should spend more resources in helping prisoner's improve their education and maybe some vocational training if they are interested but not put them to work to make money for corporations.
