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?
