This will be fine and dandy until one of those criminals harms someone while out. Not only that what kind of protections are in place for the farmers if one of the state prisoners gets hurt? Will there be some kind of protection put in place for these private citizens?
Go back and read the post....
I wrote non-violent prisoners.
There was a chicken plant not far from here who hired prisoners from a correctional facility, they were given the same wage as someone off the street, had to pay half back to the prison for room and board and got to keep the rest in an account for when they got out, then they had enough money to make a new start on life.
As opposed to hiring illegals who may have been violent criminals, no one knows. They could be pedaphiles for all we know. But one thing we do know, they are criminals as well - better to have an American criminal with a registered past (i.e. drugs) than an illegal who could be anything.
More people have been killed by illegals in this country than killed in Iraq and you’re worried about American prisoners??
