Slavery is explicitly allowed, so long as you are incarcerated, as per the constitution.
Really oughta be amended…
They provided bags and sand but residents had to bring shovels and fill their own bags. You can see in the picture and read in the article, the inmates are helping residents who need it. Many inmates have jobs. Spending a day outside, interacting with people, and helping the community in a difficult time seems like a pretty good one.

Until the people decide to leave you behind when they evacuate

I guess you read the first paragraph and skipped the rest?
In a Facebook post, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office said inmates are “assisting residents that are not capable of filling their own sandbags.”
There is zero chance all of the inmates volunteered to do this. They were coerced or forced to participate.
I’m not sure what you mean. The article clearly says that residents brought shovels and inmates helped those who needed it. When i worked with inmates they all wanted the golf course jobs because they got to be outside interacting with people.
Looks like a scene from the Three Stooges.
Those prison uniforms - trying to spot Billy the Kid.
Gives you an idea of how much they try to not spend any money at all on inmate care, those clothes are probably over fifty years old
That’s a wild picture.

“Damn, we’re in a tight spot!”
Republicans as usual being only pro-birth…
Good, make them protect the communities they hurt.
I feel like the ultimate goal really should be getting people to a place where they’re not going to commit further crimes and harm their communities again, and I don’t think just trying to punish people into that is effective. More often than not punished people just sink further into their own misery and keep pushing out and hurting others.
That all being said, I do think the experience of helping a community like this could be a positive one that could actually improve people’s behavior in a lasting way. Minus the coercion and the life threatening conditions, I support volunteering opportunities for prison inmates.
Fine if they deserve it, added injustice if they didn’t.
Ah, another quality take from .world
Some of us have actually seen the world. Try it some time.
