If they all were criminals who were convicted with a fair trial, yeah maybe, if they have a choice to work or not. But they still should get some compensation for their work. Just keep them outside of society. But many are not criminals. Many are forced into it, by life. Or wrongfully convicted.
Next to that, I believe re-education and reintegration in society should be centered during incarceration, instead of punishment. Look at Norway, 15% of inmates return back into prison while in the US it’s 85%.
But the judiciary system in the US is fucked up and corrupt. It’s racist and the whole jury system works on charms and not on facts. When charisma needs to be a part of the skillset of your lawyer and punishments for colored people are more harsh, there’s something seriously fucked up. And I’m not even talking about the chance of getting arrested when you’re colored. Because that’s also extremily fucked up.
