Okay, so you are for forced labor on the hardened violent criminals, but lenient (no work) for the non-violent?

No. Forced labor should be abolished. I was merely using the fact that the majority of "felons who made their choices", are people who have no place being there in the first place. The prison industrial complex lobbied the legislatures to make laws which increase the prison population as much as possible. The end result being many non-violent "criminal" offenses land you in jail and enslaved.

What should they all do in their free time?

Rehabilitation, learning trades, work, reading, whatever, it doesn't matter. But none of it should be forced.

If you are talking about justice reform, that’s a different topic and I completely agree with you.

All of this is justice reform. You can't have justice reform without acknowledging that slavery is wrong.
