My guess is if prisoners had to work and work really hard there would be fewer of them. All of a sudden they would have a new respect for the law.Just a guess.
If the prisoners were forced to do all the "jobs Americans don't want to do"...the unskilled/illiterate job market would probably dry up for the IAs.
Now if we could just apply the same requirement to the "gimme girls"...maybe we'd have something.
