Is making prisoners earn their food inconsistent with historical tradition?

Not going to happen because it allows them freedom from a cell for 8 hours a day plus way more expensive for added guards to the payroll.I’m a compassionate christian man, but it’s time to reinstitute chain gangs and work farms.

Maybe we add a little tech to solve for that. Electric collars that taze the prisoners if they get outside of a geofenced proximity. Same collar would GPS locate.Not going to happen because it allows them freedom from a cell for 8 hours a day plus way more expensive for added guards to the payroll.
None of the men in my office were overly concerned, we're a (unofficially) well armed bunch.
When stabbings and forklift races are in the same column it means something important, I just don’t know what.
8 hours? I’m thinking at least 12.Not going to happen because it allows them freedom from a cell for 8 hours a day plus way more expensive for added guards to the payroll.
I think the primary problem is the lack of guards for everything. The state is having a very hard time with recruiting and retention from what I’ve been told.8 hours? I’m thinking at least 12.
In the short term it might require additional guards, but I think in the long term maybe the deterrent effect reduces crime, maybe.
I want to see what he actually gets convicted of. I bet more than half of the charges are dropped.

But Lee said prison closings and restrictions that kept prisoners from working near schools or businesses helped eat away at the number of miles of road they could clean.
Between 2010 and 2016, state law required NCDOT to pay the correction department more than $9 million a year for trash cleanup, but the miles cleaned fell from nearly 77,000 to about 32,000.
“The General Assembly looked at that and realized that’s not a supportable option anymore,” Lee said. Even paying prisoners $1 a day, contractors are more cost-effective,
state officials say, in part because they don't have to remain clustered within sight of prison guards and can clean up more trash.

So the problem is at the legislature. We need to have some chained prisoners picking up trash where school children can see them. Forget highways, give them brooms and rakes and send them into their neighborhoods to clean streets and vacant lots. Hopefully they don’t get shot by rival gang members.regarding guards and prison labor (cleanup highway litter) in NC...quote:

Or surround a quarry with a fence, minefield and tower snipers and just dump prisoners in it with a pup tent and a bare minimum set of gear.So, turn the prisons full of violent criminals into dumps for all the trash contractors pick up.
If you can't take the criminals out to the trash, bring the trash into the criminals.

What don’t kill you makes you stronger brother 🤘
When I was there the plant manager had killed someone in a bar years before. His name was Lewis M. One night a black dude cut a guy with a box cutter. He ran out the door and across the yard to the fence. He wasn’t able to get over the barb wire above the fence and we got his leg and ripped his chest out on the barb wire. All the blood got people excited and he got kicked about 20 times. Fun times. Justice was served on site. No need for a jury pool selection.
I worked on the train that moved the boxes from machine to machine. Every Friday the supervisor would do a punch board to make money. I won 2 bottles of liquor at 17 which he gladly handed me at break.
As you know growing up in Longview is not for the timid. Glad my kids didn’t have my experiences.
Cinder blocks, 1x12’s and a wire spool for a coffee table 👍. Been there and done that…best times…didn’t have much and didn’t know any better 😜The office furniture at my NCSU department was made in the prison woodshops.
In Chicago.A chain gang cleaning the ditches in front of schools might work very well in my opinion.
I think this is the beginning and ending of the entire threadSo the problem is at the legislature
