I mentioned this a long time ago that people who commit crimes get a punishment of "unpaid work" as little as 40 hours. that unpaid work is no different to the work benefit claimants are having to do for weeks and months non stop.

it was met with "it gives people work experience"
but we all know that as long as it's not them that is having to do it. then they're fine with it.

people profit from this 'slave labour'
in the real world a government would step in and talk about the minimum wage.
it just so happens that this government condone slave labour.
