Inmates working does not equate to torture.
The problem is what the UK labels “antisocial behaviour”. It can be anything from shoplifting to saying something online about a protected group. You know, saying homosexuality is unnatural will get you arrested in the UK.

Worked for my nephew. He learned enough about trash while policing the county road ditches to get a real job driving a garbage truck.
What is possibly wrong with having them work on roads and such?
