Most of the prisons in America doesn't believe in that incarcerated inmates should not be treated as slaves while serving their time in prison. Which is better known as prison labor? Therefore, it wouldn't really have a positive effect and a positive outcome for the prison. For example, if an inmate with life without parole and doesn't do his job duties. What can really be the punishment that would inspire the inmate to get his work done? Most of the time many inmates don't give the officers the respect they seek for it seems as though they doesn't have any control of them. I came up with 3 reasons why prison labor wouldn't be good because of prison overcrowding, mental health, and gang activity.
