Slavery In The Prison System

They get charged about $35 dollars a month to use the exercise equipment. If they don't work, they don't work out.

Nothing prevents them from doing pushups, sit-ups, etc. (In fact, several prison gangs do quite regimented calisthenics; I've seen video out of the prisons of this that's downright scary...) And I pay about $40 a month for the gym I belong to.

In other words -- that prisoner's in no different a situation than I am, assuming that your statement is accurate. (I suspect that a more accurate phrasing would be that they need to pay $35 from their Canteen Fund/Prisoner Account, whether they get it by work or outside deposits.)

Maybe in the prisons in your area, but not here. In the dorms, there is a universal weight which is available for them to use.

Ok what would you have them spend their money on, potato chips?

Sure. Why make recidivist offenders stronger when they come out?

That happens when you take away thier drugs anyway. Should we institute a no work out policy?

If you think they are not getting drugs in prison, I think you are mistaken.

I didn't mean to imply it wasn't happening. What non-strengthening activities for recreation do you suggest.
