This was the sentence of the judge in a negilent homicide. What constitutes hard labor? Or does that just indicate the full term will be served? This occured in the State of Louisiana.

they cann't call it a chain gang because Amnesty International calls it a human rights violation, but they will be out in the fields working in angola louisana. the 5 years might be shortened due to gain time though

In general that is not a sentence used in most states any longer. "hard labor" refered to the a chain gang or work camp where the inmate would be required to do heavey labor everyday, to be punished. I am not sure if LA still has chain gangs, most do not any longer.
It could merley be a hold over in wording from 30 years ago when there still was chain gangs.

Hard labor means they get free cable TV, a roof over their head, and 3 squares a day compliments of Mr. and Mrs. tax payer.

I don't think they sentence to hard labor any more. Its just plain prison. I think thats an old term where prisons were work farms.
