liberals oppose prisoners being put to work.
I know MCCC on Maui had a program where prisoners could do piecework sewing leis for something like $1 an hour. Cigarette money. The prisoners also worked in the kitchen making meals for the other inmates. It was a plum job, one they all tried to get. Not sure about other local jails. But, no, don’t think there are any Hawaiian chain gangs or quarry rock bustings, which is generally what liberals oppose.
