Why shouldn't prisoners get full compensation for their labor?
1 comments

What does full compensation mean? The public market rate? Or the prison market rate because the risks and negative aspects of hiring prisoners mean that the demand for prisoners is low?
That's debatable, but I'm seeing a 20 cent/hour rate being floated about in the comments, which strikes me as way below market, pretty much no matter how you slice it.
