    I wouldn't be surprised if the US republican party isn't thinking of

    Yes, I saw some info on that, how they get the dirtiest jobs and are

    Ideally, they are working towards a possible early release. If they can be

    That makes sense. I hadn't thought about early release as much as they
    do usually get paid a small wage for the work which gives them some
    money to get a start once they get out.

    In some cases, I know they are also learning skills that they can use to

    Yes on both counts.. learning a skill is always good but a new skill can
    be used for good or evil..
