In too many states, they are not allowed to use inmates for any work that could be done by union road crews, etc. It is a shame to waste tax money both covering the living/guard costs for the prisoners, possibly increasing recidivism due to their inactivity, and paying all over again to have union workers performing those tasks at inflated pay and benefits rates.

Good for them, doing the right thing when nobody is looking is a major positive step forward.

I would like to see these guys in Congress, they have exhibited more courage and character than anyone in the House of Ill Repute.

Non violent inmates helping the downed officer could very well turn out to be a life altering event for them too, as saving anyone’s life usually is./

In Mississippi at Parchman farm trustees if full leg stripe could carry a shotgun or 30-30 on work detail

The old days

And lived in trustee village with street food and women

Not a bad gig for the joint

My cousin spent most his adult life there

Lower income folks are pretty fat in our Dixie

But it’s that way everywhere except high altitude in the USA

Fat pasty women with tattoos and bastard children

That’s wall mart America today

Pitiful

Very few fat folks when I grew up

In lower class white Tennessee average woman is 75-100 pounds overweight and unkempt

On SDI and selling their pain meds

Maybe working hourly

Maybe
