I just left prison. Prison is a idle breeding ground for literal trouble where assaults are a constant reality. I know. I took that walk and I talked that talk in there. Southern California prisons are operated by two entities, the prisoners and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Peace Officer's Association (Union), and, in case you wonder why CA. Prisons continue to grow in violence is because there is no dignity there, and the guards are quick to be ruthless to maintain control should the security make an attempt to slip away from them. So, in answer to my own question, yes, I believe a prisoner should be allowed to work because there is dignity and positive activity there including modification and filtering of bad attitudes and behavior. If a man in prison is allowed to work he not only gets back a considerable amount of dignity, but he also begins to feel human again, because the Ca. Prison system is designed of idle time of cages and cold cells.
