A guy I knew that spent time in prison said there was a sliding scale of pay for inmates. The farm guys made the most. Still talking .25 cents an hour

These guys pine over getting out of their cell and doing something to pass the time. The jobs that let you go outside are the most sought after as the rest of your time youre inside the same undecorated, brick and steel building. Obviously they should be treated humanely and I’m all for minimum wage applying to prisoners who are willing to work, but faux outrage is doing more harm than good nowadays. Education and critical thought is how we are going to change these kinds of things.

My suspicion is most of the guys see this as a privilege not a punishment as compared to sitting in a jail cell.
