Ah yes, another intolerant person that hasn’t the slightest idea what is going on, or what they are talking about. By your logic perhaps the best policy is just execute all criminals to save costs? It seems you believe inmates are no longer humans worthy of compassion nor are they capable of contributing to society after committing an offense. The goal of prison should be to REHABILITATE individuals so they are less likely to make a similar mistake upon release. I agree the cost of maintaining people while incarcerated is very high, so shouldn’t we do our best to prevent recidivism? This type of work is not going to give them a marketable skill upon release, the least it can do is provide a financial safety net until they can find employment.
