Reply #246: Do prisoners "give" to the gvt, or was it taken as a consequence of their crime?

[uppityperson]

The only ones I can see that "give your liberty and indeed, your whole body, to the Government" are the military. Are you telling me to enlist or shut up about the gvt?

Prison reform is necessary. Political reform is necessary. Allocating money to the more needful than those making $$ off the war machine is necessary.
