I mean tbf there are things you can have prisoners do that seem to help develop them in the prison, working with animals is the one I remember most recently, but in the Nordics they actually have these guys chop down the timber they use for the community stove and the woodshop.
Maybe we just gotta ask if the job is analogous to anything that a kid in grade school would have willingly signed up for.
Here in the United States they actually produce products that are sold to the general public, for profit, for like $0.13 an hour.
But that’s ok because you know, a dimebag or loose cigarettes or whatever
