foto,

I think Val's entire point was to use inmate labor to replace immigrant labor in the agricultural fields. My point is that most inmates would rather sit in jail than work for $2 an hour picking crops out of fields.

I went to a party once where a guy introduced himself as a professional criminal. We got to talk and it turns out that he was a car thief. His reason for being a car thief was that there was no other place that he could possibly make $60,000 a year without a college education. Obviously, he hadn't talked to my brothers, both of whom are making 6 figures legally without a college education.

My point is that most criminals do not want to work hard for a living. If they did, more likely than not, they wouldn't be in jail.
