i believe prisoners should "pay back society" .......actually work while doing time. sitting around playing cards and lifting weights??? gimme a friggin' break. make them do something for society. if i didn't have to work 40 plus hours a week it would be nice to find the time and energy to get buff and play cards. i think if they knew they had to work in prison for nothing, they would think twice about going....maybe. in the tookie case, i don't know the evidence against him, so i don't know.
