Well, we're talking about replacing ILLEGALS, for one thing.
In order of succession, perhaps. But who would be taking those jobs were there not 7.5c/hour prison serfs taking them? Perhaps wages would need to increase. That's too bad; it's called the market.

Work that guy who is serving 10 years for raping someone's loved one.
That's a weird way of putting it. Why not "for raping someone"?

I do not have a particular issue with prisoners being at work. I have a severe issue with prisoner labour being used as both a profit centre and a tool to artificially keep wages low and removed from free workers.

And with 1 out of every 6 factory jobs gone since 2001, that job market is already toast.
And why would you prefer to make it worse?
