@nbcla: Proposition 6 would amend the #California Constitution to remove the current provision that allows jails and prisons to impose involuntary servitude to punish crime (i.e., forcing inmates to work). It could cause a potential increase or decrease in state and local costs, depending on how work for people in state prison and county jail changes. Visit our #Decision2024 playlist for more prop explainers. 🗳️ #nbcla #election2024 #electionday
since prisons make inmates pay for everything, I'd say let them work on a voluntary basis, but pay them fairly. they are forced to work for free, and still have to buy necessities.

Or, hear me out. You pay them fair wages for the work but the money owed is required to be kept for court costs and restitution, rather than the taxpayer picking up the bill.

I have to do things around the house I don’t want to do. They live there. It’s their home. I don’t c the problem on the surface but I can c how it can be taken advantage of too.

OK pay them fairly. But charge them room and board fairly also. And as there is a over crowding problem at prison by the laws of supply and demand the rent would be high.

so yes and no, we will not hire people to clean their blocks, showers, toilets etc. Nobody should make money off of the labor. Voluntary- Yes, Paid- absolutly not

If you make it so prisons can enslave criminals, law enforcement is encouraged to convict more people.

He’s twisting words. Inmates are also forced to manufacture goods for for-profit companies. Furthermore, slavery is preserved through the 13th amendment to the US Constitution.

It’s slavery. Those prisons get plenty of funding. They can afford to pay people to do these jobs. They’re only using slaves because it increases their profits.

What happened to leading by example? If we as a society say theft is wrong, yet justify the theft of wages from prisoners, we become nothing more than a thief ourselves. Lesson, theft is justifiable

Especially in democrat places like CA were criminals are basically coddled and worshiped, the opposite needs to happen more.

People in prisons have a free home, free food, free medical, free clothing, etc. They are not indentured servants, they are working for their keep.
