What about income originating from convicts sentenced to hard labor as a part of their custodial sentence? Seems reasonable that any income arising from that should become property of HM Prisons, to help defray the cost of incarceration. What say you to that?
(Good practical example: the prison installs a big treadmill capable of keeping 100 convicts moving at a steady speed of 5 miles per hour 24 x 7, in twenty rows of five across. Twelve hours on, six hours sleep, six hours rehabilitation therapy. Two shifts. The treadmill is attached to a generator, which in turn provides electricity to the grid; or to a pump that extracts water or oil from the ground.
I’d say that makes a fine Conservative project.)

“What about income originating from convicts sentenced to hard labor as a part of their custodial sentence?”
Prisoners should not be sentenced to hard labor, or any kind of forced labor.
Slavery should not be the aim of our legal system, criminals, or not. It’s only aim should be to protect the innocent, that’s all.
This makes answering your question impossible, for me, at least.
